Golden Greenery

Chapter 914 France stands on the opposite side

In the history of football, the only player who has played in the five major leagues so far is the former Romanian star Raduchiu, but there are many players who have played in four of the five major leagues.

For example, Zhuo Yang's old buddy, the golden retriever Lion King Rigbert Lao Song, and the Danish Paulson who retired due to an unknown illness. There is also the Romanian star Popescu who played for Romania, Eredivisie and Turkish Super League for most of his career, but briefly played in Germany, Italy, Spain and England.

Former French team captain Didier Deschamps also played in the four major leagues. He basically spent his career in Ligue 1 and Serie A with Juventus. In the last two years, he went to Chelsea in the Premier League and Valencia in La Liga for one season. .

In the summer of 2001, Deschamps retired and then directly took up the coach of Monaco in Ligue 1 without any transition. Three years later, Deschamps led Monaco to the Champions League, knocking out Real Madrid and Chelsea to reach the final, joining Mourinho's Porto at the top of Europe in that famous dark horse year.

It's a pity that Deschamps lost to Mourinho that time, and he could only watch the bird coach rise to prominence from then on. And that failure also became a turning point for Deschamps and Monaco. The royal team was almost relegated in Ligue 1 the following year.

Afterwards, Deschamps was appointed at the critical moment and returned to Turin to take charge of Juventus, which was relegated to Serie B due to the 'Calciopoli'. It only took one season for the old lady to return to Serie A, but due to conflicts with the management Due to conflicts at the top, he was forced to leave office angrily.

After a period of idleness, Deschamps took over Marseille. Although the effect was very good and the old powerhouse gradually regained its charm, it encountered the strong entry of the Qatari consortium into Paris. Marseille wanted to regain its former dominance. Style is basically difficult.

Because of the 2004 Champions League final, Deschamps and Mourinho, who are of similar age, were known as lifelong enemies in the coaching world. However, Deschamps' coaching career has been on the decline and while Marseille is struggling to survive, Mourinho is enjoying great success at Real Madrid.

All roads lead to Rome, but after the club failed to do so, Deschamps chose a different path of exploration from Mourinho.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the French team was exposed to the "training strike" scandal, and the group failed to qualify, scoring only one goal in three games. Head coach Domenico was ousted, and famous defender Blanco, a hero of the 1998 World Cup championship, took over.

Two years later, at the 2012 European Championship, France lost to defending champion Spain in the quarterfinals and was eliminated, and Blanco resigned. With the support of former teammate Zidane and the famous coach Jacquet, Deschamps, who had no intention of coaching at the club level, took the coaching position of the French team.

On the first day of July 2014, Didier Deschamps led his French team to stand opposite Zhuo Yang and his Chinese team in the 1/8 match of the World Cup at the National Stadium in Brasilia.

Nowadays, in the strength assessment of mainstream football media,

The Chinese team with Zhuoyang is regarded as approximately equal to the quasi-second-rate level in Europe, or can barely reach the level of a serious second-rate team, that is, the level of Sweden, Croatia, and Belgium.

But Zhuo Yang, the captain of the Chinese national team, disagrees with this view. He believes that his team has not yet reached the Euro 2 standard.

The second-tier teams have a very important indicator: they are indeed not as good as the first-tier teams, but from time to time they will upset the first-tier teams. Even if you only get this kind of shit luck once every few years, you must have this to prove your second.

In the six years since Zhuoyang's return, the Chinese team has encountered three first-class teams in official competitions: Italy, the Netherlands and Argentina, but has had one draw and two losses without a win. The conditions were relaxed to all games, and only once did France win 1:0 during the warm-up in Reunion Island four years ago.

There are countless warm-up matches, just like Zhuo Yang never agrees that 0:8 is the real strength gap between the Chinese team and Brazil.

The Chinese team has not yet reached the second tier, but today it faces France, which has restored its first-rate strength. Deschamps' French team is ambitious this time.

Brothers hate each other. This game is also a battle for the top scorer between the two captains, Zhuoyang with six goals and Scar with five goals.

Zhuoyang has scored 14 goals in two World Cups, surpassing Fontaine and tying with Gerd Muller on the historical scorer list. Only Ronaldo and Klose, who have 15 goals, are left in front of him.

The World Cup is held every four years. With good character, the golden age of a shooter will not exceed ten years, which is the chance of three World Cups. So ten goals may not seem like many, but the World Cup’s ‘Ten-Goal Club’ has a very high threshold.

In the more than 80-year history of the World Cup, only 13 people have become its members so far. Including Maradona, Baggio, Cruyff, Romario and others, countless awesome people have not been able to enter this club, and they will never have a chance again.

But outside the threshold, two more people have had opportunities: Thomas 2 Muller and Frank Ribery.

In comparison, Erwa has greater momentum because he is young, only 25 years old and has only participated in two World Cups. Four years ago, South Africa's second son made a sensation and scored 5 goals. This year, he scored 4 goals in the group stage. This idiot who dares to put a kick in Tiger's butt only needs one goal to be in the 'Goal Hall of Fame', and no one will question that he can't do it.

No one doubts Scar, even though he is 31 years old.

In the 2006 World Cup, the fledgling Scar followed Zidane and Henry and scored two goals. By the time he arrived in South Africa four years ago, he was so good that he scored all the team's goals like his second brother Montolivo.

It's just that the second brother has 6 and Scar has one, because the French team only scored one goal in three games four years ago.

But in Brazil this year, Scar finally showed his power, scoring 5 goals in three games and leading the team to three wins in three games, defeating the powerful Honduras and Switzerland. According to this momentum, 2+1+5=8, it doesn’t seem to be difficult for Scar to enter the ‘Ten Ball Hall of Fame’ this year.

Of course, Zhuo Yang must agree first.

Zhuoyang completely agreed. He said: It doesn't matter how much you want to enter, as long as I can win in the end, because I want to go to Brazil.

Scar said: I won't get anything if I don't score a goal in the future, but I want to win and win the championship. Don't worry, I will help you destroy Brazil on the way.

However, this was all a war of words between the two before the game. When they arrived at the competition venue, the two brothers started lining up at the entrance and ended by exchanging team flags and guessing coins, except when they sang "March of the Volunteers" and "La Marseillaise" , the two mouths kept talking about something completely unrelated to football, and the American referee Mark Geiger pinched his teeth.

Referee Geiger's face is a bit dark, but he is not angry because of the two captains. He is a mixed race of black and white, evenly mixed.

The 30-year-old Geiger is very good at running. In this World Cup, he became the best running referee with an average of more than 10 kilometers per game, and this data exceeded 75% of the players. Boss Mei averages just over 7 kilometers per game, which shows how tough Geiger is in this area.

Geiger can run long blacks, but he's a good referee. Having a dark face does not mean that he is a black whistle. On the contrary, the Chinese people think that Mr. Geiger is a red whistle.
