Chapter 1013 Unpopular World Cup (1)

PS1: This is an additional update recommended by 301,000 yuan. I’ve been busy with work recently, so I’ll forgive you.

PS2: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

PS3: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

Since Zoff had to tragically adjust his lineup and tactics through friendly matches for two years after taking over the Italian national team, he lacked the real training of the qualifiers, so it is naturally inevitable that he would expose all kinds of shortcomings in the first match of the World Cup.

Fortunately, although he lost the first group match with Croatia, Zov still has the opportunity to save himself and Italy's fate. As long as he can lead the team to defeat Ecuador and Mexico in the next two group matches, there is no problem with Italy's qualification to advance to the top 16.

Therefore, before the match with Ecuador, Zov led the players to prepare for the battle, striving to use a victory to wash away the bad luck of losing the first round, and let the team get back the feeling of winning as soon as possible.

However, before the second round of the Group G group stage begins, let's take a look at the situation of the first round of the other groups.

As Italy was reversed and won by Croatia in the opening match of the World Cup and revealed that the first super upset in this World Cup, other traditional strong teams seemed to be infected by Italy and encountered hard battles in their first World Cup matches. Many teams even became brothers and brothers with Italy, working hard to contribute to the unpopular cause.

On the second day of the World Cup opening, in the first round of Group A, the French team, the quarterfinals of the 1998 World Cup, and the second-place winner of the 2000 European Cup, proved with practical actions that Italy is not the only unlucky guy who was defeated by his opponent in the first game of the group stage. They also suffered a defeat in the first game of the World Cup journey!

France became the second unlucky guy, with three super scorers, Trezege, Thierry Henry and Cise, as well as famous players such as Pire, Vieira, Deselli, Toulam, and Badz, when they were against Senegal in the first group stage, they were defeated by this African team known as the "French Second Team"!

Since Senegal became a French colony in 1864, it was not until 42 years ago, that is, in 1960 that it was restored to its sovereign state. As with many African countries, Senegal has a very close relationship with France, the former suzerain state. It is precisely because of this that Senegal players often choose to speak the same language as them when entering European football and are easier to adapt to France than to other countries' leagues.

Taking Senegal, who participated in the World Cup in Korea and Japan as an example, among all the 23 players who entered the World Cup roster, only two substitute goalkeepers and one substitute forward come from the league outside France. In addition, Senegal's head coach Metsu is also a Frenchman, so from these two points, Senegal's title of "France Second Team" is truly worthy of its name.

Although Senegal has a large number of players playing in France, compared to France, which has a large number of first-class stars and has extremely rich experience in the competition, this new recruit who has entered the World Cup finals for the first time. Therefore, before the game began, no one was optimistic that this copycat version of the "France Second Team" could defeat the French team, which is much stronger than Senegal, even if the French team broke the general Zidane in the warm-up match with the South Korean team before the World Cup.

However, reality gave all those who were optimistic about France's winning game before the game. In this game with extremely different strengths, the Senegalese player who participated in the World Cup for the first time did not have any stage fright and actually defeated France in this World Cup game!

Like the Croatian players who had won the prestigious victory over Italy, the unexpected defeat of the French team allowed a large number of Senegalese players to enjoy the treatment of becoming famous in one game. Especially in the game, Diouf, who made the French team's defense line run and assisted his teammate Diop to score the winning goal, attracted the attention of many teams, including Inter Milan and Liverpool!

It is conceivable that if Diouf can continue to perform well in the next World Cup, then it will only be a matter of time before this speedy Senegal striker joins a giant club after the World Cup.

The French team, who made all fools in this game, proved a fact to fans all over the world with practical actions, that is, without the commander Zidane as the commander, no matter how starry-studded the French lineup is, it is just a scumbag with less than five combat power...

There are not players in the French team who have the ability to organize the team's offensive responsibilities. For example, the old minister Djokkaf, John Miku, who was called "Zizu II" by fans for his outstanding performance in Sampdoria, and Vieira, who serves as the offensive and defensive hub in Arsenal, has the ability to take on this responsibility. Therefore, the reason why France has experienced offensive chaos in the game against Senegal is not because Djokkaf and Vieira, who succeeded Zidane as the core of the organization, was not capable of taking over the ability of the French to take over the romantic problem!

After all, compared with Zidane, who had obtained absolute voice with the support of Yakai eight years ago, the current French coach Le Maire does not have this courage and dares to support Vieira and Djokaf in the team, so that other players can obey the command of these two players. After all, Lizarazu, Deselli and others have much higher status and qualifications in the French team than these two players. They will never be convinced that Djokaf, a veteran who has declined in form and Vieira, the junior!

It can be said that in terms of personal abilities, perhaps all of these French internationals are good at playing, but when they are brought together and there is no commander who can convince them all, the possibility of causing trouble is far higher than the probability of working together. Regarding this, it can be seen from the huge gap between the French team in the performance of the three absolute superstars in French football history, Copa, Platini and Zidane, in the previous life, after the three absolute superstars in French football history withdrew from the national team, the huge gap in the results of the French team in international competitions.

It can be seen from this that these three people can occupy the highest position in the French football world where famous players emerge, not only relying on their extraordinary abilities (otherwise, Fontaine, Gileser, Djokav and others of their contemporaries would have long since snatched power), but have a temperament that is enough to convince those national teammates who value more than team interests!
