Chapter 130 Scar Assassin
Stuttgart, the last game of the 1/8 finals of the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
Degan stood on the field and looked at the French players passing by. Zidane was still bald, Butters described it as funny, Ribery's eyes were hideous, and Henry's eyes were full of sternness. Strong fighting spirit.
Losing to AC Milan in the Champions League final made it difficult for Henry to get out of that deep loss for a long time, and he also had doubts about the career of the Gunners. Now he met Degan on the stage of the World Cup. This time, he wants to win and make up for the regret of the Champions League.
Use a World Cup to make up for the regret of the European Champions Cup?
Henry is really extravagant.
Digan and Zidane walked to the middle circle. They looked at each other and didn't speak. They had already finished what they needed to say before the game. At this moment, it was like a duel between two top players, and the competition was about internal strength.
Degan got the ball, and his habit is like this, holding the initiative in his hands. Generally speaking, on the stage of the World Cup, it is very rare to score at the beginning, especially in the knockout stage, even if it is a five-star Brazil. When facing the Chinese team, such a tyrannical team should be careful in the opening stage. Conceding a goal first means going home. No one wants to take this risk.
But Degan wanted to try it.
In this game, Antiiennis resumed the lineup of the first two games of the group stage. Digan acted as the lone striker and hoarded heavily in the midfield, planning to fight the French team.
French coach Domenech formed a 4-2-3-1 formation, goalkeeper Butters, defense line Abidal, Thuram, Gallas, Sagnol, double midfielder Makelele With Vieira, Ribery and Malouda on the two wings, Zidane rushed forward, and Henry was on the forward line.
Just looking at this lineup, the Belgian and French teams are not heavyweight players at all. There is only one Degan in Belgium who is regarded as the world's top player.
What about France?
Take out any player casually, and it can be worth the sum of the worth of Belgium except Digan.
Although the defense is a weakness of France, but look at the midfield, you must defend and defend, you must be creative and creative, and the leader is the world's number one star Zidane. Belgium and France compete in the midfield, which is nothing to do with courting death. different.
But Antiiennis has no other better way. There are only so many cards in his hand, and all the cards that can be played are played. Whether he can win or not depends on the performance of the players on the field.
Degan has nothing to complain about the current strength of the Belgian national team. The current Belgium is not five years from now. After five years, Belgian football will show a blowout state. Countless talented players will blow up in the world football A red storm, Hazard, Fellaini, Lukaku, even France will only be greedy.
But now, it's all about building muscles.
The referee blows his whistle and the game begins.
The Belgian team passed the ball to the feet of Digan, who was pulled horizontally to the left, after a while in midfield.
Degan flicked the ball, trying to get past Ribery, but Ribery's reaction was quick. He put his hands on the ground, stood up, and then stuck up again.
Scar Assassin's speed is not covered, even Degan has no confidence that he can beat Ribery in speed.
Before the start of the 2006 World Cup, a few people knew who Ribery was, but after this World Cup in the previous life, Ribery's reputation was basically known to everyone.
Franck Ribery's football career is basically a history of vicious counterattacks. He had never been selected for the French senior team before the 2006 World Cup. He was selected for the youth team before, but when he was in the French youth team, Ribery was both a striker and an attacking midfielder. But under Domenech's hand, he was assigned the position of winger.
Before that, Franck Ribery was unknown, and that sentence is the most suitable to describe him. His life is a coffee table full of tragedies.
When Ribery was two years old, he was involved in a serious car accident. Unfortunately, he was thrown from the back seat into the windshield, leaving a long bloodstain on his face. However, until later, when he was holding a lot of money that could not be used up, Ribery still refused the "plastic surgery" proposal 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 Being a world champion is more exciting than having a pretty face."
Ribéry started his football career at Lille, where he left in 1999 after three seasons at Lille's youth academy to return to his hometown club Brogne due to poor performances.
In 2005, Ribery moved to Galatasaray Football Club in Turkey. During his five months in Galatasaray, he scored 5 goals and assisted 5 times for the team, and won the Turkish Cup winner.
Then, Ribéry joined Marseille in the 2005/2006 season. Although he played a mess at the beginning of the league, he performed well in the Intertoto Cup, defeating such strong teams as Lazio and Deportivo FC.
At the same time, he has also become the core player of the French under-21 youth team. He made great achievements in the qualifiers of the European U21 Youth Championship. He eliminated his opponent in the play-off match against England and successfully entered Portugal.
In the 2005/06 Ligue 1 season, Franck Ribery soared into the sky and won the best player in the league, and won the best goal award for a heavy bombarding goal 40 meters away.
In the 2006 World Cup, Ribery was selected into the World Cup team by coach Domenech. In the group match against Togo, Domenech gave Ribery a chance to start.
In that game, Ribery wasted two scoring chances and his performance was lackluster. In the next game against Switzerland, everyone agreed that the more stable Sylvian Wiltord would regain the main position, but Domenech still left this opportunity to Ribéry.
What exactly did Ribery rely on to win Domenech's stubborn trust?
No one knows, but against Switzerland, Ribery finally proved himself and Domenech's vision.
What is even more commendable is that Ribery not only won the heart of the coach, but also won the hearts of all his teammates. As we all know, due to different clubs and different ages, the French team is famous for its many gangs. It's hard to fit in successfully. Vikash Doraso is already considered a veteran, but he is still rejected by nearly half of the players.
But what about Ribery?
In just three weeks of training and warm-up, they have won unanimous welcome!
When Franck Ribery played against Switzerland, Henry specially pulled him to his side and told him: "Relax and play as you want, don't have any worries."
And captain Zidane showed extraordinary enthusiasm for Ribéry, and even specifically asked Domenech that he wanted to cooperate with the teenager.
Zidane once exerted influence on Butters as the No. 1 goalkeeper, but it is very rare for a young man who has just met to work so hard. In fact, Zidane had a good impression of Ribery as soon as they met, and even asserted that he would become a great star in the future.
"He brought us a natural joy, not just on and off the court."
In the end, Ribéry scored a goal in the match against the Swiss team and made his mark. He was immediately widely regarded 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. His speed is very fast, and his long-distance attack speed is also amazing. Ribery often plays the role of dribbling in the fast break His fast speed combined with his powerful breakthrough ability makes his breakthrough on the wing deadly and difficult to defend.
At the same time, his technique is very delicate, he has a good sense of the ball, his playing style is full of vitality, has a strong ability to dribble and break through, and is good at dribbling the ball on the left to attack inside. Whether in the club or the French national team, he has a personal Assault sets off the ability to attack small bombs.
Ribery's comprehensiveness is also reflected in his passing. As an attacker with strong breakthrough ability, he also has excellent vision and precise passing ability. He can deliver deadly passes and assist his teammates to score goals. .
As a world-class wide player, Ribery's passing is first-class, especially in the frontcourt, there are many clever passes, very precise and imaginative, and precise through balls and clever crotch passes are also Ribery. Commonly used tricks.
Ribery's dribbling can also be described as exquisite and skilled. His flexible line changes in fast running are impressive. The front also makes it difficult for the opponent to judge whether he is going to bottom or cut inside. And his not tall stature also provides excellent conditions for his dexterous dribbling, coupled with his extremely high dribbling speed, making Ribéry a nightmare for most players with slow defensive reactions.
At the same time, as a wide player, Ribery not only has superb dribbling and passing abilities, but also has excellent shooting skills. Whether it is a long shot in front of the penalty area or a single-handed goalkeeper, his shots are very clean and neat. Also tricky, making it often difficult for goalkeepers to reach.
Ribery is 170cm tall and weighs 72kg. Such a body is generally difficult to compete with tall and strong defenders for air supremacy, but it is unbelievable that Ribery also scored too many headers in the French League. Ribery also for himself He has worked hard on headers for his comprehensive development, and his header shots are generally very strong and full of domineering.
In his previous life, after Ribery became famous in the World Cup, he has been involved with many big clubs, such as Manchester United and Real Madrid. In fact, after the World Cup, Franck Ribery voluntarily requested a transfer to Lyon, a major club in Ligue 1. As a result, he was suspended for several games by Marseille, and he did not regain his role until later.
Finally, in the summer of 2007, Ribery joined the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich with a price of 25 million euros. In Bayern Munich, Ribery quickly became the core of the team, and became the center of the Bayern midfielder together with Ze Roberto. core players.
It wasn't until that time that Franck Ribery realized that the coffee table in his life was indeed full of cups, but after washing those cups, he realized that they were all blue and white porcelain.
Franck Ribery plays football with a lot of ruthlessness, not only being ruthless to his opponents, but also more ruthless to himself, probably because of the rough life before, which made him cherish everything he has now.
Although the tackle failed to stop Degan, Ribery refused to give up at all. After getting up, he immediately chased after him, completely ignoring his thin body, and wanted to knock Degan out of the sideline.
Faced with Ribery's endless tricks, Degan was also furious. If the angle didn't allow it just now, the scarred face next to him would probably even show off the nasty tactic of monkey stealing peaches.
Protecting the ball with his body and pressing down with his arms, Degan originally wanted to block Ribéry to the outside, but he used all his strength and ended up hitting the cotton, shaking his body and almost falling Then, there was a scream and the referee's whistle.
foul!
Digan turned his head to look at Ribery, who was lying on the ground with a painful expression on his face, and felt helpless. This guy was not only ruthless, but also very cunning.
The Belgian team's first attack ended without a problem, and then it was the French team's turn to show off. Facts have proved that there is an excellent connection point in the midfield, and what role will it play in the attack.
The French team advanced very fast. Abidal took a free kick and handed it to Zidane. Zidane directly distributed the ball to Malouda on the left. A cross pass to Zidane, Zidane passed the ball to Ribery on the right, Ribery made a cross, Henry followed up with a header and Proto subconsciously stretched his hand up, and the football flew out Crossbar, France's corner.
It took only five passes to form an attack. During this period, the Belgian players could do nothing but run along, especially Zidane's defense, which was not in place at all.
"Less than three minutes into the game, the French team already had a threatening shot. The Belgian team's defense seemed helpless in front of the French team's offense. Before the game, Antiiens threatened to use his muscles to fight against the Frenchman. , I should probably wake up now, facing the former world champions, the weapons they need are not just muscles!"
"Henry's header is very threatening. If it weren't for luck to play on Proto's side, maybe the French would have taken the lead now!"
Malouda took a corner kick, and the Belgian penalty area suddenly turned upside down. Degan returned to the penalty area to help defend. In the end, he rushed the ball before Ribery, but the second point was still controlled by the French team. Ella's long-range shot from outside the penalty area hit Thuram's body and popped out of the bottom line. Belgium temporarily lifted the crisis.
But in the next game, Belgium is still not easy. In the confrontation in the midfield, they have no advantage at all. Degan is even under the joint attack of Makelele and Thuram, doing nothing.
Under the leadership of Zidane, the French team frequently launched offensives. France with Zidane and France without Zidane are completely two teams. Although they have reached the end of their career, Zidane His strength, in the position of midfielder in world football, can still rank top.
His passing is very penetrating, and he has full control over the game, and he has a precise long-range shot from outside the penalty area.
Fifteen minutes into the first half, Zidane took a long shot from outside the penalty area and went straight to the lower right corner of the Belgian goal. Proto fell to the ground to save the ball, but he couldn't stop the football from going. Fortunately, Kompany made up in time. At the moment when the ball was about to cross the goal line, he scooped the ball back.
Antiiennis on the sidelines also kept signaling the team to retreat. Now the situation on the field is obvious. It is not a wise decision to continue to play against the French team.
At this time, what Belgium can do is to strengthen the defense, wear down the patience of the French, wait until the French offensive slows down, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Degan has the speed and physical advantage, and Belgium is not completely out of chance.
"The Belgians seem to have completely given up on offense. They hoarded all their troops in front of the penalty area. This game is almost turning into a half-court offensive drill for the French! But if it is just defense without offense, Belgium will definitely consume more. Physical strength, as long as the French seize a chance at that time, they will be invincible!"
"Digan's performance in this game is a bit disappointing. I can't see his crazy attacking appearance in the group stage. He has become a defensive midfielder on the court now, but he is constantly playing. Defend, defend!"
"It seems that Zidane still doesn't want to hand over his status as the world's number one star. In the contest with Degan, he has an overwhelming advantage. Several passes are very threatening. In addition, the French team's other goals in this game A bright spot is Ribery on the right. After scoring a goal in the group match against Switzerland, his performance is getting better and better. Wiltord wants to take back the starting position from him. It is estimated that It's not easy! Domenech once again showed people his outstanding vision. Before the start of the World Cup, no one knew the name of Ribery, but I think after this game, there will definitely be many rich teams I will be interested in this Scar Warrior!"
The evenly matched contest that people predicted before the game gradually turned into a one-sided situation. The French team firmly controlled the initiative of the game. , Fully drove the offensive of the French team.
Especially Franck Ribery. Heukens, who is in charge of defending him, probably wants to die at the moment. He can't keep up with his speed and skills. In front of Franck Ribery, this tough guy from Belgium has become a passive Little child playing with people.
"Franck Ribery passed by again, Heikens couldn't guard him at all, Ribery didn't continue to move forward, but chose to cut inside, Henry had already responded to the back point, Zidane also came up, Ribery Without passing the ball, he continued towards the center!"
In the 32nd minute of the first half, Franck Ribery suddenly cut inside, causing the Belgian defense to panic. Heukens misjudged, leaving a vacuum around Franck Ribery at this moment.
Franck Ribery's speed was very fast, and he cut in suddenly, which attracted all the attention of the Belgian defense. Henry, who had responded to the back point, had no defenders around him. If Ribery chose to pass the ball at this time, Henry could directly Facing Belgian goalkeeper Proto.
Of course, Ribery has another choice, which is to cross the ball to Zidane, and Zidane will complete the shot, but Ribery has no intention of passing the ball at all, and continues to dribble towards the goal. Advance in the middle.
However, it is a bit difficult to do it alone. Although there are no defensive players around Ribery, there are too many people in the penalty area. It is very difficult to penetrate so many people.
Almost everyone thinks that Ribery will definitely choose to pass the ball, and the best choice is to pass it to Henry.
"Defend! Block him! Don't let him pass!"
Proto reminded his teammates loudly, and at the same time he was moving towards the back point, ready to block Henry's shot with his body at any time.
But at this time, Ribery suddenly kicked, completely without warning, and in the process of telling the ball to advance, he suddenly kicked and shot.
"Franck Ribery shoots~~~~~~~~~~~"
The football is like a cannonball, and it hits towards the near corner of the goal. Van den Borre wanted to block it with his body, but Ribery hit a ground ball, and the football flew through the cracks. Tuo turned pale with shock, and quickly adjusted his center of gravity.
"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Goal! Goal! It's Ribery! His goal broke the deadlock on the field and helped the French team lead!"
After scoring the goal, Ribery was also taken aback. When he shot just now, his head was hot. After finishing the shot, he felt a little regretful in his heart. If he failed to score, he would definitely be criticized after the game. Some people would say He is alone.
So Franck Ribery froze on the spot and looked towards the goal to confirm. When he saw the football was already in the goal, his brain was instantly filled with ecstasy. This was his second goal in the World Cup.
Ribery wanted to rush to the sidelines to celebrate the goal with Domenech, without Domenech, he would never have appeared on the stage of the World Cup, let alone completed the goal.
It can be said that Domenech is his mentor, his bole.
But as soon as Ribery turned around, he was pushed to the ground by Vieira who ran over, followed by French players flocking to play on the field, and the bottom one was naturally Ribery inside.
Franck Ribery, who was crushed at the bottom, became even more ferocious, and shouted hoarsely: "I am Frank Ribery! I am Frank Ribery! I am Frank Ribery!"
The depression accumulated in his heart was completely released at this moment. He was very clear about his situation in the French team. At the beginning, Domenech resisted all opinions and gave up the French team's star player Pires and chose to take him to Germany. At that time, there was even a voice in France that "that ugly ghost of Ribery is not worthy of the Gallic Legion". For so long, Ribery has been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to soar into the sky.
Fortunately, Huangtian paid off, he finally got this opportunity!
"France scored! Nice shot, Ribéry broke the deadlock with a sudden cut inside the back goal, Franck Ribéry! His shot gave France the lead and I don't think it will ever happen again Some people will question Domenech's decision. It is precisely because of Domenech's support that Ribery can continue to appear in the main lineup of the French team. Now Ribery also returns with such a golden goal. Gained Domenech's trust!"
"Franck Ribery completed a genius strike. This goal is likely to cause Belgium to have a big crash in the next game. It can be said that the French team has entered the threshold of the World Cup quarter-finals with one foot!"
Domenech had already rushed out of the coach's bench when Ribery chose to cut inside. When he saw Ribery's shot and broke the net, he could no longer restrain his excitement. He has always been refined. , unexpectedly ran a few steps, and came up with a beautiful knee slip, which attracted cheers from the fans of the French team.
They also complained about Domenech's insistence on using Ribery before. In their opinion, Wiltord is much more reliable than that scar kid who came out of nowhere, but Domenech It was in the use of Ribery that he showed a headache and stubbornness.
The results proved that Domenech was right. Although the core of the French team is Zidane, people have reason to believe that in time, Ribery, this boy from the Boulogne countryside, will definitely become the leader of French football. army head.
In contrast to the ecstatic Frenchman, it was naturally the Belgian. Antiiennis shook his head in disappointment. He couldn't blame anyone for the conceded goal. No one expected that Ribery would suddenly choose to cut inside, and that The shot was too sudden, with seven points of strength and three points of luck. The Belgian players on the field have done well enough, but it is a pity that their luck is a little bit worse.
Digan was equally disappointed, but he was not yet desperate. The match had only lasted half an hour, and he still had an entire hour to equalize or even overtake the score.
He needs to wait for an opportunity, and when their defensive pressure is not so great, his opportunity will come. Like now, even he has to retreat to the midfield to assist the defense. It is simply impossible to score goals. actual dream.
As long as the French team takes the initiative to slow down the offensive rhythm, Degan will be able to gain more room for movement. As long as there is space, even if the French team hoards well-known star players in the backcourt, Degan is not foolish and bold. With fear.
