Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 554 Zidane's will!

Frank Ribery.

The 23-year-old was born in Boulogne, France on April 1983, 4. According to his own introduction, his ancestor was the famous Jianwen Emperor who fled due to Zhu Di's seizure of the throne in the Ming Dynasty.

Before the World Cup in Germany, Franck Ribery was unknown.He comes from Buren, known as "the most broken town in France". After spending three seasons in the youth academy in Lille, he left in 3 due to Ribery's poor performance and returned to the club. Abandoned his hometown club Broni Borregni.

After that, Ribery remained unknown.

In January 2005, he joined Turkey's Galatasaray Football Club.In his 1 months, he scored 5 goals, assisted 5 times and won the Turkish Cup for the team.
In the last season, Ribery returned from Turkey to join the Marseille team. Although he played a mess in the early stages of the league, he performed well in the Intertoto Cup. His goals helped Marseille beat Lazio and Lazio. A strong team like Deportivo FC.At the same time, he has also become the core player of the French under-21 youth team.

In the European U-21 Youth Championship qualifiers, Ribery made great achievements for the French youth team. In the play-off match against England, it was Ribery's goal that eliminated the England youth team and made the French team successfully entered Portugal.
Before the 2006 World Cup, Franck Ribery had never been selected for the French senior team.In the French youth team, Ribery served as both a striker and an attacking midfielder.However, in Domenech's French team, he was placed as a striker.
In the top [-] group match, Ribery scored a goal and was directly sought after by the French media as the successor of the famous French star Zidane.But in fact, the football styles of the two are not the same, and Ribery's style is closer to Robert Pires. He is good at fast attacks on the side. In addition, he is also very good at setting kicks.

Such a player does not look outstanding. Perhaps there is another reason why Ribery is sought after by the media and trusted by the head coach, that is, his appearance is quite strange, and he looks like a ruffian. On the football field, it just makes people feel that he can be trusted.

In his early years, Ribery was involved in a serious car accident when he was 2 years old. Unfortunately, he was thrown from the back seat to the windshield, and a long bloodstain was drawn on his face.However, until now, with a lot of banknotes in his hands, Ribery still refuses the "plastic surgery" proposals made by friends and family members.Ribery said: "Some people will think my face is ugly, but I will not go for plastic surgery. That car accident changed my life and made me cherish my life and career more. Let me focus on football games. Get A world champion is more exciting than having a pretty face."

But this time, Ribery finally impressed Domenech with his hard work and performance, and he became the starter against England in the World Cup semi-final.

Judging from Ribery's experience, he is really just an ordinary player. Before the World Cup, his worth was only 100 million euros. Facing a super world-class superstar like Beckham, he is only qualified to look up to. , But now, on the court, Beckham is played by Ribery's feet again and again.

This gave Ribéry great pride.

So, the next moment Beckham couldn't bear it anymore, and kicked Ribery to the ground.

For such an obvious foul, the referee directly showed Beckham a yellow card, and the French team also got a left set kick. The position of this set kick is not very good. Under normal circumstances, the French team should choose Serve directly.

However, Zidane blocked his teammate's serve.

He thinks this is a good opportunity, at least the French team has played very passively from the beginning to the present. If this opportunity is used, how do you know it will not become a scoring opportunity?

Zidane thought so, so, without the English players realizing it, he walked up to the ball and directly slammed his foot on the lower side of the ball.

Don't underestimate Zidane's footwork!

Perhaps, Zidane has been completely covered up by more dribbling light and ball master halo, but the accuracy of his footwork will still be amazed by people time and time again. As the core of a team's offense, Zidane His footwork cannot be questioned at all.

All the fans saw the football flying across the air. After reaching the highest point, it landed on the back of the penalty area. That's Henry!

"Danger!"

With the shout of the on-site commentator, Henry kicked the ball smoothly, and in the running rhythm, one foot was stuck on the bottom of the football's oblique side. With this force, the ball flew directly to the left corner of the goal.

It's almost a must-goal! !
"Goooo!" The fans' cries for a goal had resounded throughout the Allianz Arena, but at this moment, England's goalkeeper Thomas Clark showed his power!
Throughout the World Cup, Thomas has not had many performance opportunities, because England's offense has always suppressed the opponent. For a goalkeeper, it will reduce a lot of performance opportunities, and the opponent's shots will always score goals. Thomas has a lot Sometimes, watching the ball score is powerless.

But this time, Thomas' prediction in advance was accurate!

When Henry shot and caught the ball, Thomas had been observing the swing of his feet. The moment he shot, he jumped directly to the right. When everyone in the audience thought the ball would go in, his Still threw the ball with both hands.

However, in order to catch the ball, Thomas also fell directly to the grass, and after that, he covered his wrist and began to grin his teeth.

The goal was missed, but none of the English players were happy because Thomas was injured!The main goalkeeper is injured, which is even more serious for a team than the first core injury, it will mean that their goal is not stable.

Amidst the concerns of his teammates, Thomas walked out of the field clutching his wrist, and then head coach McLaren had to replace Paul Robinson as a substitute goalkeeper.

The young Robinson was young and mature. He became the main force of the team as early as the 2002-03 season. He first played for Leeds United, but with the team's relegation, he moved to Tottenham and has been performing steadily.

In the national team, due to the fixed position of Seaman, it is difficult to perform well. However, since the European Cup in 2004, he has gradually gained the upper hand against his competitor James, and has been continuously starting in various national team competitions, and has outstanding performance. The performance, once England's number one goalkeeper.

Originally, Robinson had been considered the No. [-] goalkeeper in this World Cup in Germany. Unfortunately, Thomas's strong rise in Chelsea last season directly took away the position of England's main goalkeeper.

So much so that until now, Robinson's playing time in the World Cup in Germany is still 0.

And now, he has finally found a chance to play, but his teammates don't trust Robinson very much. In the England team, the gap between the two goalkeepers can be seen almost at a glance. Every player knows that Robinson and the former David James Similarly, it is easy to make some small mistakes on the court, and neither of them has any special abilities, so they have always been reduced to substitutes.

Such a goalkeeper cannot be trusted.

But now that Thomas is injured, the goal position can only rely on Robinson.

After Robinson came on the field, the game between the two teams resumed. From the appearance of the scene, the form of the two teams has not changed much. The England team still occupies the field advantage, while the French team still sticks to their defensive counterattack.

The score on the field is still 1:0.

But is the French team really willing to continue the game like this! ! ?

As the pillar of the entire French team and the soul of French football, Zidane will never be reconciled to losing the game like this!Even though the goalkeeper of the England team has been injured, the French team is still at a disadvantage. They must show considerable strength in order to restore the team's situation and strive for an equalizer or even a lead.

If the French team loses this game, it will really be his last game. Losing the game silently like this, and then retiring silently, is definitely not what Zidane wants to see. If he is at a disadvantage, then it's time for him to play.

Zidane has no choice, he must show his strength, otherwise the French team will definitely fail, their World Cup journey will inevitably end, and his football will end here.

The end of a generation of masters, this may be a good ending, but such a random ending is not what Zidane hopes to get. His football life has been brilliant, and what he needs is a perfect ending!

what is perfect
There is no doubt that it is the Hercules Cup!
If he can help the French team win the Hercules Cup again, he can be on par with the two South American champions!
At this time, Zidane turned his head to look at Wang Li, and saw him standing casually in Bayern's half, running continuously, his movements were light and natural.As a teammate of Real Madrid, Zidane knows Wang Li very well. Although Wang Li looks casual, Zidane knows that this black-haired kid is definitely ready to explode at any time!
This is a strong intuition, and it is also the result of Zidane's understanding of Wang Li.

This black-haired boy is really too strong. If he wants to win the England team, he must use offense to try to score goals. It is almost impossible to stop this black-haired boy for a whole game just relying on defense.Before that, the first thing the French team has to do is to equalize the score, only in this way can the two teams stand on the same starting line.

On the field, the football returned to the feet of the French players again, this time still Franck Ribery.

Before the game, many media linked Ribery to teams like Manchester United, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid. On the one hand, he recognized his strength, and on the other hand, he also created momentum for the new French talent.

But obviously, the former is what Zidane values ​​most.

The same is true for Ribery himself. Although he is satisfied with his performance in the World Cup, as a professional player, he wants to get a better contract, more salary, and join better players. You have to work hard to express yourself on the court.

It was David Beckham who was facing Ribery. McLaren had considered replacing Beckham before, but at least he hasn't done so now. Beckham is still on the court.Seeing Franck Ribery dribbling the ball, he subconsciously wanted to step forward to defend himself. After being swayed by him a few times before, Beckham already knew the strength of the 'Scar Boy' in front of him, and he would not do it again. Was easily played.

Ribery's dribbling speed is not fast, but Beckham is still not in a hurry, he has been retreating, ready to block at any time to steal, this is the English style of stealing - relying entirely on the body, not speed.

But at this moment, Ribery chose to pass the ball!
Beckham didn't think of this at all, so he was tricked by Ribery again, who passed the ball to Zidane who followed up in the middle with one kick in Beckham's incomprehensible eyes.

Seeing Franck Ribery receive the ball, Henry in the front court subconsciously wanted to go forward. He ran quickly and even came to a position that was close to offside. He kept his eyes on the midfielder at any time, ready to go forward and counter-offside. Single chance.

This is the court awareness of a super shooter.

Henry was disappointed, because he saw Zidane received the ball. Henry had a kind of admiration for this senior star, but on the court, the cooperation between the two could only be called "terrible". To describe it, Henry was trained by Arsenal. He has already adapted to the fast-changing football, but Zidane's football
There is only one slow word to describe it.

Therefore, it can be said that it is basically difficult for the two to cooperate. This is why the French team has shooters like Henry and Trezeguet, as well as many top midfielders in the world, but it is still lacking in offensive power.

However, is Zidane's football really only slow?
Of course not!
The media and fans all over the world use 'art' to describe Zidane's football, and there must be a reason for this.

And even though Zidane's football is very 'slow', his offensive threat is not bad at all in the slowness. , In a seemingly easy flash, Joe Cole was left behind. This is just the beginning.

After that, Zidane met John Terry.

Zidane's dribbling speed is really not fast, he just took it slowly. After meeting Terry, he swayed his feet and naturally inserted it from the right side, while the football was used outside by him. The instep kicked from the left.

The ball is divided! !
The ball on the outside of the penalty area line is passed! !

Even Wang Li in the frontcourt saw this extraordinary move, his eyes lit up. He knew that in this regard, he could not compare with an art master like Zidane. Most of his extraordinary actions relied on his own internal strength and speed, while Zidane relies entirely on a sense of the ball and rich experience in the game.

"Beautiful!! Wonderful!!" The live commentator couldn't help exclaiming.

You must know Zidane's extraordinary position, but before the penalty area line in the middle, there are very dense defensive players in this position. I am afraid there are only a few players in this position. After passing Terry, he also took advantage of the situation to catch the ball steadily. This kind of performance is really gorgeous.

But passing someone doesn't mean it's safe, because there are a lot of defensive players in this position. After Terry, there is Ashley Cole. Everyone in the audience thinks that Zidane will definitely pass the ball.

However, Zidane's choice surprised them all.

A clean long shot! !

This shot was so sudden that Paul Robinson, who had just entered the field, didn't react at all. He just subconsciously grabbed it with his hand, but the ball had already flown into the goal by his hand, and was bouncing on the net.

"Goooooooooooooooooooal!!!" The on-site commentator had to cheer for this goal: "It's beautiful!! Zidane!! It's Zidane, my God, what an incredible goal!!"

"This goal is entirely Zidane's personal ability. He scored a goal in his own unique way and equalized the score for the French team!! Beautiful, wonderful!!"

Seeing Zidane's goal, France coach Domenech jumped up from his seat, he was so excited!This is not only because of the team's goals, but more importantly, Zidane's goals.

You know, if the game is lost, this will be Zidane's last game!

In the last game of his career, scoring such a wonderful goal, this brilliant scene will always remain in the hearts of fans.Obviously, the French fans thought so too, they all stood up from their seats, cheering for Zidane's goal, they shouted Zidane's name as Zidane's support!
"Zidane!!! Maestro!!! You are the pride of French football!!!" Such voices resounded throughout the stadium.

At this time, commentators from various countries were also discussing with each other, they were constantly analyzing Zidane's goals, and they were unanimously praising——
"Many fans think that Zidane is old. No matter how good he was before, he is no longer good now. But in this World Cup, Zidane's performance has proved himself, although he is 34 years old. At 35, he is still the best player in the French team."

"In the game before the World Cup, Zidane has scored three goals, and this goal is also the fourth! If you don't talk about the England team, Zidane has already scored the most goals in all other teams. It's gone."

"We have all seen Zidane's wonderful performance just now. I think that in this World Cup, the nomination for the Ballon d'Or is likely to be won by Zidane. Of course, the premise is that France can beat England and enter the World Cup final."

These few words have been said without saying it. Even if Zidane scored such a wonderful goal, there are still no fans who think that the French team can beat the England team. After all, the current score is only 1:1.

The most important thing is that the black-haired kid hasn't shown his power yet, and the competition seems to have just begun.

England still hold the vast majority of chances of victory.

PS: Let Zidane show it. I feel that it is a pity that such a superstar did not have the 2006 World Cup head-butt incident to end his career.

It's not bad to end with a good goal.
Amen.
