We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 201 Champion! Zidane has no regrets, Maldini really means Wei Zuo (1.4w super chapter)
[PS: I finished writing the finals in one go, hoping to reduce everyone's criticism. I'm also asking for another wave of monthly votes, although I can't catch up with the first place. I'm working on the detailed outline of the new season, so the amount of updates in the next few days may not be guaranteed, but Taozi will try to write as much as possible! ]

Argentina's apology was arranged quickly because Portugal also refused to compete with Argentina for third place in the World Cup.

They said that if the final has not been set, what is the point for them as third or fourth place?

The last two games of the World Cup were suspended as a result. FIFA could not afford to delay and directly sent officials to supervise the implementation of the Argentine team's apology.

The protagonist of the conflict, He Tianqi, was also invited to the apology conference. It was not an apology out of thin air and his attitude was still very correct.

He Tianqi opened the speech by saying: "In fact, it should not be me who is standing here, but the families and fans of the Italian team who were attacked."

"But it is not convenient for them to appear on camera, so I am here to attend the apology meeting on their behalf."

"Then let's go from left to right."

He Tianqi gestured.

Tevez, on the far left, said: "First of all, I want to apologize for what happened after the game. No one wants that to happen."

"Some fans couldn't bear the disappointment after losing the game and acted recklessly."

"On behalf of myself, the entire Argentine team and the Argentine Football Association, I would like to apologize to the fans who have been hurt."

"We also apologize to the fans who have always supported the Argentine team. We have let you down."

After Tevez finished speaking, his expression did not change much.

But from his eyes, you can tell that he is a little homesick.

In one word, homesickness!

The second one was Messi. His eyes were red and he said basically the same thing as Tevez.

After saying this, he also bowed in a standard manner.

At this stage, Xixi can still bend over.

It can be seen that the Argentine Football Association had checked their statements in advance.

Or maybe, this is what the Football Association prepared, and the players are just reading from the script.

Avoid creating new trouble due to not expressing your ideas clearly.

Next up are Di Maria and Mascherano.

But He Tianqi reached out to stop them, and walked over, leaning on Di Maria and Mascherano and said to the camera: "That's enough, I think I have felt the sincerity of the Argentine players."

"In fact, these young talented players did nothing wrong. It was not them who hit the player. It is not easy for them to apologize."

"We are not unreasonable people."

"Then I will make it clear here that as long as there are no further bad developments, this matter will end here."

"I hope everyone can return to football and focus on football!"

After He Tianqi finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Messi.

But Messi and Tevez's heads were buzzing and they couldn't hear anything.

Why don't Di Maria and Mascherano have to apologize?
So we are the only two clowns, right?
Di Maria and Mascherano, who were protected by He Tianqi, naturally knew the head coach's good intentions.

I don't want to damage their self-esteem in front of hundreds of media outlets and hundreds of millions of viewers.

Especially for young people, the word "face" is the most important thing.

Looking at He Tianqi and the two young players of Palermo hugging each other, Messi quietly put his hands in his pockets and swore in his heart that he would never apologize again in his life!
……

Kicker: "The Argentine football hooligan incident has come to an end! Argentina will compete with Portugal for third place tomorrow, and France will compete with Italy for the championship the day after tomorrow!"

Bild: "The Palermo effect dominates the World Cup! All four semi-final teams have Palermo players!"

France Football: "He Tianqi put aside past grudges and shook hands with Di Maria, Mascherano and other Argentine players, showing his magnanimity!"

"Sicily Daily": "He Tianqi called on fans to give more support to Di Maria, Mascherano and other players from their own clubs, and not to cause any accidental injuries!"

Sky Sports: "No. 1 vs. No. 5 in the total team value ranking! In addition to their high value, the Italian and French teams have one biggest thing in common!"

The warm-up for the World Cup final has begun.

People who watch football always feel that the whole world watches football.

But the original estimated number of viewers for this World Cup was only 700 million.

This data is inflated, but considering the spread of influence, there is no problem with 700 million people knowing about this game.

But compared to the total population of six billion, it is only 12%.

There are even fewer semi-finalists, reduced by more than half.

There are also many people who only pay attention to one score, and many broadcasts stop after the game is over.

So the fans all know about the conflict in the family quarters, but most non-fans don’t know.

The Argentine media therefore took advantage of its first-mover advantage and disrupted the situation on an overwhelming scale, deceiving many people who read the news.

But then European media took action and more footage was released, and the truth finally came to light.

This process will still exist even after another twenty years.

The charm of journalism lies in the fact that no matter how advanced your means of communication are, the truth you accept comes from how much news the media releases.

Only by extending the timeline can we get a more accurate answer.

So when something just begins, the direction is often not towards justice and truth.

But this incident turned a football event into a social event.

The number of people who knew about this matter and the number of people who participated in the discussion suddenly exceeded 100 million, reaching 20 to 30 billion!
Achieved a super breakthrough!
The World Cup is held every four years, but such a groundbreaking effect may not be achieved even once every five or six times.

This is also the reason why UEFA and FIFA love and hate He Tianqi.

The innate flow of the holy body, but it is not controlled.

In fact, if every competition has similar situations, every competition will be able to break the circle.

But only those who are always sure that they will continue to be awesome and those who are brainless will choose this kind of uncompromising uproar.

Most of the players who can play in this kind of competition are not stupid.

Even if they don't have brains, the people around them, their coaching staff, the national team or club staff will have brains.

Therefore, there is only one trend-setter like He Tianqi in several years, and most of them fail because they cannot sustain their success and eventually end up in a miserable situation.

In the eyes of capital, his fall is actually approaching.

There is no head coach or player in the world who doesn't have low periods.

He Tianqi can’t be the champion all his life, right?
Therefore, the popularity of this World Cup final has reached an unprecedented level.

And people found that the two teams that entered the finals had a very special thing in common.

That is, compared with Brazil, England and Spain, whose values ​​are also very high, the Italian and French teams are facing serious crises!

The French team did not perform well in the qualifiers, which eventually forced veterans such as Zidane, Makelele and Thuram to return to the national team.

They also stumbled a lot in their previous matches of this tournament.

However, there has always been a saying that only such a team has the potential to win the championship!

Although the Italian team has an extremely strong record in the qualifiers and this World Cup, they have not lost a single game so far!
But the stun gun scandal has led to the collapse of Italian football, a crisis even greater than that of the French team.

As a result, there is no construction without destruction. The two troubled teams met in the finals.

This once again proves the huge role of spiritual attributes in the sport of football.

On July 9th, Portugal and Argentina kicked off.

The Argentine team was affected by previous events and the whole team was in poor condition.

And the core of the midfield, Riquelme, is missing.

Portugal won the game 2006- with two goals from Deco and Figo, becoming the third place in the World Cup.

But young player Cristiano Ronaldo also performed poorly.

The Rooney red card controversy also affected the performance of this handsome guy.

English fans took advantage of the situation and mocked Ronaldo for his poor performance in the third place match, saying that it was as poor as that of Messi on the opposite side.

Because they performed diving, faking falls and other moves during the game, fans called them "the peerless duo"!
July 10th is the day of the World Cup final.

At the Berlin Olympic Stadium, 70,000 fans entered early.

The atmosphere of the finals is getting more and more intense!

No matter who wins the game, it will be a super legend!
They are all miraculous flowers blooming in despair.

Both sides announced their starting lineups two hours before the game.

The French team:
Henry
Malouda, Zidane, Ribery
Makelele, Vieira
Abidal, Gallas, Thuram, Saninoor

Barthez

-

There are also strong players such as Trezeguet, Wiltord and Diana on the bench.

Among them, the media discussed Ribery's position.

Because of his balanced 5-5 foot, he can play on both sides.

In his first season at Palermo, he played as a right winger.

Although he played mainly as a left winger in Palermo later, he would occasionally go to the right according to tactical needs.

Even so, the media still believes that Ribery, the left winger, performed better.

If Henry and Pires were on the left, it would make sense for Ribery to give them space on the right.

Now Malouda is on the left, which is confusing.

Malouda is also very strong, but there is definitely a gap between him and the runner-up of the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year.

What happened to Domenech?

However, according to insiders... people speculate that it was Pires who was not taken to the World Cup by Domenech that said that Domenech put Ribery on the right because Ribery is Domenech's rising sign and he should move to the right this month.

So Ribery played on the left in the group stage because it was June.

Now on the right side, because it's July.

Many media outlets used this as a joke.

Some fans also felt that the article was too outrageous, just like the Sun.

However, fans will never believe that this is the truth.

More than ten years later, this was mentioned in the autobiographies of several French internationals who participated in this World Cup.

The first constellation head coach, Domenech!

Come on!

On the other side, Italy's starting lineup is:

Toni, Totti

Grosso, Chiellini, Pirlo, Gattuso, Zambrotta

Cannavaro, Nesta, Barzagli

Buffon
-

During the game, Totti's position may be more like a front midfielder.

Iaquinta and Camoranesi are absent due to injuries.

Materazzi was suspended due to a red card.

The staff is relatively tight.

But the players on the bench have all appeared in previous games and are capable of fighting.

Before the game, some media asked He Tianqi whether he had contacted Ribery during this period.

He Tianqi said: "No, we have not been in contact during this period. In fact, I will not contact the players I have coached before the match."

"I want to avoid the influence of off-field factors on them as much as possible."

"Including the club's transfer news, I told the Palermo sports department before this World Cup to suspend all transfer discussions and transactions regarding our team's players participating in the World Cup."

"We are rejecting all offers for now and hope that the players can focus more on the World Cup."

“I hope they all do well.”

"Of course, I also hope that the Italian team can achieve good results!"

He Tianqi's answer won applause.

Only the bosses of the major clubs were gritting their teeth in hatred.

After the World Cup, the prices of Palermo players have all increased!

The amount ranges from 3 to 5 million Euros to 6 to 8 million Euros!
This gambler, he won the bet again!
With a whistle, the 2006 World Cup final officially began under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The players on both sides were in high spirits.

We even got an extra day of rest due to the turmoil in Argentina.

In the 50th second of the game, the excited Henry collided with Cannavaro.

One insisted on running away, the other refused to let go.

As a result, Henry fell to the ground on the spot.

French fans are heartbroken.

Henry left the field for a while, but fortunately returned two minutes later.

French fans gave him a warm round of applause.

He is also currently recognized as the number one in France.

Zidane is old and fading.

Ribery has substance but no fame.

The only French hero is Henry.

In the fourth minute, Grosso made a straight pass from the left side of the French penalty area.

However, Vieira was still strong and worked hard to defend, overpowering Totti to complete the interception.

Totti pulled Vieira down with a backhand, preventing France from launching a counterattack.

The referee showed Totti a yellow card.

This also shows the referee's standard of judgment.

He should be more resistant to ruining chances in unsoccer ways.

But at the same time, he doesn't seem to be averse to confrontation.

Vieira's interception involved a fierce confrontation, but no foul was called.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for both parties.

Vieira took a free kick, but it turned out to be a long pass instead of a short pass from the backcourt, which caught the Italian team off guard.

Ribery sprinted without the ball and ran out of position.

Nesta chased back desperately.

In the penalty area, before the ball even landed, Ribery fell to the ground.

He and Nesta had a slight contact.

Although Nesta's action was not big, it had a strong effect in preventing Ribery from advancing.

Considering the referee's penalty philosophy, he decisively pointed to the penalty spot!

"What? Penalty?"

"Is this...is this sentence a bit harsh?"

"Nesta tried to appeal."

“The referee is very determined!”

"Ribery has done a great job! After eight years, is the French team going to be at the top of the world again?"

"The camera is focused on He Tianqi! Ribery is the best player under his command, the sharpest knife, but now this knife is stabbing at himself!"

"He Tianqi defeated himself!"

On the sidelines, He Tianqi stopped Barzagli and said a few words.

Barzali immediately ran to Buffon and whispered to him: "With Zidane's character, he might take a spoon penalty!"

Buffon nodded.

Soon, Zidane came to the penalty spot.

As a whistle blew, he ran towards the football.

The run-up speed is not fast.

Spoon penalty?

Buffon made his decision.

But almost at the same time, Zidane's pupils shrank... Is he going to save my penalty kick?

boom!
Zidane hooked his right foot at the last moment.

From rubbing the ball with the left side of the toes, it has changed to knocking the ball with the left side of the heel.

The football rolled to the right.

The quality is not high.

But Buffon's reaction was a beat slow, and when he finally jumped out, his fingers almost touched the football.

"GOAL! One to zero! France wins the first game!"

"Zidane scored the penalty created by Ribery in one fell swoop!"

"Big heart! Zidane definitely has a big heart!"

"Oh! Buffon almost touched the ball, this is simply a peak showdown!"

Zidane turned and looked at He Tianqi on the sidelines.

Beneath the seemingly calm eyes, there were actually turbulent waves.

He Tianqi guessed his thoughts!

Zidane was just going to give a penalty kick just now.

Fortunately, he changed his footwork at the last moment.

But this is very risky, the penalty kick just now was almost missed.

Similarly, He Tianqi looked at Zidane and shrugged.

really!

For experts, a penalty kick is like a breakthrough.

It’s not a question of choosing the left or the right.

But... choose the other side of your choice!
"Hmm?" He Tianqi watched Zidane turn around and walk, "This is..."

It's twisted!
Zidane sprained his right ankle!
There is a price to pay for temporarily changing your footwork.

No matter how quick Zidane's reaction is, his body is after all 34 years old.

This sprain should not be serious.

But at 80 or 90 minutes, it might be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the players.

After this goal, the French team took the advantage on the field.

Their offensive players are too threatening.

In the ninth minute, Saninoer made a cross from the bottom.

Nesta headed the ball to clear it, but it went in the wrong direction and went straight into the goal.

Fortunately, Buffon was focused and saved the ball.

"Focus! Be bolder when handling the ball and don't have any psychological burden! Your movements should be relaxed and natural, and avoid deformation of technical movements!" He Tianqi saw the problem at a glance and reminded the Italian veterans.

I am even more timid when I am close to my hometown.

The performances of the most stable players of the Italian team are not good enough at the moment.

But they are mature and capable of making adjustments after their problems are pointed out.

In the 15th minute, Grosso was harassed by Ribery when he broke through on the left and failed. Pirlo then passed the ball to Zambrotta on the right.

Zambrotta breaks through and creates a corner kick.

Compared to Malouda, Ribery is more involved in defense.

This is related to the overall defense that He Tianqi emphasized in Palermo.

But there's something different.

Palermo's overall defense had a lot of fine-tuning by He Tianqi, which could create some space for Ribery.

Modric helped Ribery shoulder a lot of defensive responsibilities.

The French team does not have these things.

This resulted in Ribery playing with the same philosophy, but consuming more energy on the defensive end than when he played for Palermo.

However, Ribery has a fatal flaw, which is unknown to the outside world because He Tianqi's rotation and tactical adjustments conceal it.

That is, Ribery's ability to distribute physical energy is very poor.

He was unable to scientifically and independently allocate sufficient physical energy to each part and each period of time.

boom!
Pirlo takes a corner kick.

There were many tall Italians, and several of them jumped up at the same time.

After a confrontation with Vieira, Nesta suddenly retreated, jumped up and headed the ball.

Vieira's attack missed and he couldn't jump up.

boom!
The football pad shot into the net, stirring up white waves!
"GOAL! One to one!"

"Nesta! Nesta redeems himself for his crime!"

"Nice header!"

"He scored a goal over Vieira's head! He is worthy of the title of Italy's pillar of support!"

"He Tianqi is very good at set-pieces, and Italy's previous sharp attack made people forget this!"

"Italian team's movement this time obviously has a special design!"

In the field, Nesta cheered loudly.

He almost became Italy's sinner.

In the 26th minute, the Italian team struck while the iron was hot and continued to attack from the left.

After attracting the defense, Grosso passed the ball horizontally.

Chiellini dribbled forward and made a through pass.

Tony receives the ball and passes it to the goal, and once it is passed, it is a one-on-one opportunity.

Unfortunately, Thuram's kick was very accurate and destroyed the ball, giving the Italian team only a corner kick.

Pirlo took another corner kick and this time Toni headed it.

when!
The football hits the crossbar.

"Defend! Defend well! What are you doing? I told you to be careful of Gemini's surprise attack!" Domenech shouted angrily on the sidelines.

Guardiola and Camignani, who had returned to the front line, looked at each other.

Is there such a command method?
Gua Gua immediately took out his notebook to record it. This was no longer football skills or tactics, this was divine magic, arcane magic, and sorcery!
In the 34th minute, Zidane received the ball in the middle, teased Gattuso and then sent a straight pass with the outside of his foot.

He was then knocked down by Gattuso.

Henry cleverly passed the ball and then turned and broke into the penalty area.

Barzagli, however, got the ball away first and completed a beautiful tackle.

Henry felt a little strange and felt that he could no longer keep his little secrets.

Barzali smiled.

He Tianqi conducted special training for the Italian team's defenders before the game.

Give Ribery a confrontation that mainly consumes his physical strength.

Henry likes to let the ball turn and take longer steps with the ball.

Malouda is not strong enough in one-on-one breakthroughs.

Zidane's impact is not enough, and continuously returning to defense after being passed would be very effective.

And so many more!

In the 42nd minute, Zidane passed the ball back to Vieira and then turned forward, getting rid of Gattuso.

Vieira passed the ball back against the wall.

Zidane received the ball and quickly attacked Pirlo.

The classic car crushed the wheelchair.

Pirlo was humiliated by the elderly.

But the next moment, Chiellini made a lateral tackle and destroyed the ball.

Zidane jumped up to avoid it and landed breathlessly.

He is no longer at the age where he can defeat three opponents at once.

pity!

Chiellini is not having a good time either and is equally tired.

The task given to him by He Tianqi today was rather difficult, and his sweeping range had to cover the entire stadium.

The previous forward pass, the current defense against Zidane, and the restriction of Ribery are all within his scope of business.

If they don't play like this, Italy's midfield will never be able to beat the French team.

What the Italian team lacks is a core midfielder who can move forward.

If there was a Modric, we wouldn't be so passive.

In the 45th minute, Ribery cut in from the right.

But Cannavaro poked the ball away and completed a beautiful single defense.

Ribery, who had been cutting inwards from the left for a long time, switched to the right, but for a moment he couldn't find the feeling to cut inwards.

The key point is that this team does not support him to cross the ball from the bottom.

So his performance throughout the first half was not impressive.

It gave French fans a feeling of great disappointment.

The first half of the game then ended.

Time passed quickly and the quality of offense and defense by both sides was very high.

Every time he spoke, he had something to say and his intention to attack was clear, but it was always difficult to carry out the final step.

In general, the French team took the lead in attack and had the advantage on the field.

After returning to the locker room, He Tianqi made tactical adjustments.

"There's a high probability that France will switch Ribery to the left in the second half." He Tianqi wrote on the tactical whiteboard. "In this case, Zambrotta's defensive task will be heavier."

"Let's implement the attrition strategy and increase Ribery's intensity."

"Pirlo, Gattuso, Barzagli, pay attention to the backup defense. It is difficult for one person to defend Ribery. If you really can't, suppress his shooting angle."

"In addition, Henry and Zidane will definitely come here. The iron triangle they form is too threatening."

"Totti needs to drop back and harass Zidane."

"The defense line should pay attention to the offside tactics to prevent Zidane from connecting with Henry."

Fifteen minutes later.

Both parties enter.

The pressure on the Italian team was instantly relieved.

Because He Tianqi's prediction was successful.

Domenech suppressed the astrological irrationality and moved Ribery to the left.

As a result, as soon as they came on the pitch, the French team posed a threat from the left.

Henry retreated to receive the ball from Zidane, passed it to Ribery, and then turned around and moved forward.

Ribery received the ball and cut inside, like a fish in water, successfully blasting past Zambrotta.

However, his running route overlapped with Henry's forward route.

They are all inserted into this line from the left rib.

Many of Henry's great goals were scored from the left side of the penalty area, including his very exciting silhouette shot.

Ribery was blocked by Henry and braked suddenly, causing himself to slip.

Henry took the ball from Ribery, continued to move forward, broke into the small penalty area and shot at a small angle.

The ball was confiscated by Buffon.

Ribery sat on the ground and shook his head.

If he gets the ball, he will try to cut inside and try the middle.

Otherwise, this kind of small-angle attack would not have been able to break through the goal guarded by Buffon.

This is the difference between the two people's conditions.

Henry has long legs and big dribbling steps, which are very similar to Mbappe's future rapid acceleration movements, but his ability to change direction continuously in a small range is not strong.

Therefore, you have a better chance of success if you lie in the restricted area.

Ribery is short, has a fast pace, and is good at controlling the rhythm of the ball under his feet.

Different players will handle the same opportunity differently.

It cannot be applied mechanically.

Domenech slapped his thigh in anger on the sidelines, thinking that Ribery's slip was a poor performance.

Aries really shouldn't appear on the left!
In the 52nd minute, Zidane dribbled the ball in the middle and wanted to pass it to Ribery.

However, Gattuso and Zambrotta tended to surround Ribery, so Zidane could only try a long shot himself.

But it posed no threat.

In the 58th minute, Ribery was blocked by Gattuso when he cut in from the left, so he dribbled the ball horizontally to the middle and passed the ball to Malouda.

Malouda sent a cross.

Cannavaro jumped high and headed the ball away before Zidane could make a forward run.

In the 61st minute, Zidane held off Totti who was frequently harassing him and passed the ball to Ribery.

Ribery changed direction continuously and cut inside to get rid of Zambrotta.

Pirlo steals the ball.

Ribery dribbled sideways again, accelerated and shook off Pirlo.

Then Vieira hit the wall and held the ball on the right rib and made a straight pass.

Malouda got the ball on the right side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle, hitting the side net.

Ribery has been performing at a star level during this period.

This has caused the value of his opponent Zambrotta to drop.

But he was sweating all over and it looked like he had played for ninety minutes instead of sixty minutes.

He himself hasn't realized this problem yet.

Otherwise, he might not have passed the ball to Malouda just now. He could have made a reverse triangle pass from the bottom right rib.

This is more threatening.

In recent years, there has been a saying that He Tianqi's use of Ribery actually sacrificed Ribery. If Ribery could enjoy 100% of the ball in other teams, the effect of his play would not be worse than Ronaldinho.

Why should we give the football to a fraud like Modric?

However, this is just wishful thinking.

The truth is that without He Tianqi, Ribery's glory might be even worse than it is now.

Because Palermo's Ribery is unstoppable.

And Ribery in other places is flawed.

No matter how strong a player is, he will not be scary if he has an Achilles heel.

In the 63rd minute, Vieira was pressed by Toni and fell to the ground after a long pass with his left foot.

"What happened to Vieira?"

"Not good! Being injured in this non-confrontational state is most likely caused by my own fault."

"Look at where he's covering his hands. Is his thigh strained?"

"Oh! The team doctor made a substitution signal, Vieira is injured! This defensive gate is one of the best midfielders in the past year! Only Motta from Palermo can be compared with him!"

"It's a huge blow to the French team."

French midfielder Diarra comes on the pitch.

France currently has two Diarra.

Both were later bought by Real Madrid.

But none of them fully met expectations.

In the 67th minute, the French team launched a series of pressing in the frontcourt.

Cannavaro used his experience to force Malouda to commit a foul.

Pirlo took a free kick from the backcourt and directly hit the ball into the goal.

Totti predicted his position correctly and headed the ball across from the left side of the penalty area.

Grosso came from the back and completed the shot before Thuram.

Barthez subconsciously stretched out his foot to block the ball.

But the technique was wrong and the ball flew up.

Tony just headed the ball.

The football went into the net.

"GOAL! Two to one!"

"Italy has taken the lead!"

"Tony scored a goal! He raised his goal tally to six and is now the top scorer in this World Cup!"

"This goal has a lot to do with Vieira's departure."

"Diarra failed to notice Totti's run away from the main group and failed to interfere with Grosso's shot."

In the 72nd minute, the French team began to fight for their lives.

Ribery attacked Zambrotta continuously from the left, attracted Gattuso and then passed the ball to Zidane.

Zidane sent a straight pass with the outside of his foot without stopping the ball.

Henry challenged Cannavaro at the top of the penalty area, and he made a goal with a pass and a shot.

However, Buffon made a world-class save and blocked the ball.

Ribery grabbed the ball in the penalty area, turned around with a Matthews fake move facing the bottom line, and sent a return pass.

Zidane broke into the penalty area and shot to win the game!

Swish!
Buffon is powerless to save the situation!

"GOAL! Two to two!"

“France equalized the game within five minutes of falling behind!”

"Zidane scored twice!"

“He is a true legend!”

"It's hard to imagine what this French team would be like without Zidane!"

"He can definitely play for another three years!"

"But it is regrettable that Zidane announced before the World Cup that he would retire this summer."

"This is a huge blow to the French team and Real Madrid!"

On the field, the French players began to celebrate.

But no one noticed that Zidane grinned for a second right after he completed the shot.

pain!
His right foot hurt even more after he completed the shot!
In the next few minutes, Zidane consciously gave up possession of the ball and let Ribery deal with it.

However, Zambrotta made two consecutive beautiful defensive moves and regained the advantage.

Now everyone can see that... Ribery is out of energy!
In the 79th minute, Zidane made a fake pass to Ribery and then broke through in the opposite direction.

Pirlo, who had just become the world's top midfielder two years ago, was passed by at the speed of light and was rendered useless.

Zidane brought us back to the pre-liberation era overnight.

Chiellini made a flying tackle and brought down Zidane, receiving a yellow card.

He Tianqi made a decisive substitution.

Zaccardo replaces Chiellini.

Maldini replaces Grosso.

Both players have yellow cards, it's time to get new supplies.

Domenech followed suit and replaced Ribery with Wiltord.

Ribery was somewhat unwilling, as he thought he could still contribute to the team as long as he was allowed to rest for five or six minutes.

But Domenech won't waste so much time talking to Aries.

Wiltord's Taurus is the most compatible sign with Domenech!

In the 82nd minute, Maldini broke through on the left and passed the ball back.

Zaccardo got the ball forward and prepared to shoot from long range.

Diarra didn't expect that Zaccardo, the defensive right back who was playing as a defensive midfielder, could actually move forward to the left rib position, and he didn't have time to defend.

Zidane made a timely tackle and knocked down Zaccardo, who received a yellow card.

Italy got a free kick in a good position.

Pirlo stands behind the football.

Ten seconds later, the football passed over the wall of people, floated past Barthes' fingers like a fallen leaf, and went into the goal.

"GOAL! Three to two!"

“Italy is leading again!”

"Pirlo was suppressed by Zidane throughout the game, but now he scored a decisive goal! He proved himself!"

"Zaccardo made a free kick as a substitute. He Tianqi's magical substitution law is still in effect!"

Pirlo celebrates passionately.

It’s so miserable. He was really badly shown by Zidane in this game!

His worth has been reduced, damn.

On the other side, Domenech replaced Malouda with Trezeguet.

Libra, it’s you!

Let’s go back to the starting point!

Domenech used a trick to kill both parties.

According to astrology, once Trezeguet comes on the pitch, the advantages of both sides will be reduced to zero.

If there was an advantage, Domenech would not let Trezeguet play.

Guardiola sneaked up to Domenech at some point, saw the astrological tactics written by Domenech, sneered, and snorted.

Domenech immediately complained to the fourth official after discovering it.

The referee showed Guardiola a yellow card.

In the 85th minute, Cannavaro and Zidane competed for the header.

After Zidane landed, he didn't dare to exert force with his right foot, so his right shoulder hit the ground heavily and injured his right shoulder again.

But he refused the team doctor's sideline treatment and insisted on staying on the court.

He didn't want to leave, at least not for this game.

He wanted to play his last game well.

As an old player, he knew his injury better than the team doctor, and he was sure he could hold on.

He Tianqi used this time to replace De Rossi.

Totti leaves the field.

The new and old kings of Rome high-fived, as if they were handing over the royal power.

Perhaps after this experience, De Rossi will gradually take over the captain's armband of Roma from Totti.

Totti: Are you sure?

Zaccardo returns to right back, De Rossi plays as defensive midfielder, 451 formation!

In the 89th minute, Zidane moved to the right, received a pass from Sagnol and then made a cross.

Players such as Barzagli, Nesta, Trezeguet and Henry interfered with each other and were unable to touch the ball.

De Rossi actively returned to defense and used his left foot, which he was not good at, to clear the ball.

But he kicked the ball outside the penalty area, and the ball flew in the opposite direction towards the goal.

Kicked it!
He is right-footed!

Buffon had never expected this and flew to save the ball, but it was too late.

The football went into the goal at a not very fast speed.

The entire Italian team was struck by lightning!

De Rossi covered his cheek in pain and fell to his knees.

"Oh! That's too hard! Three to three!"

"De Rossi made a clearance error and scored an own goal!"

"Who would have thought that the Italian team would score so many goals in this tournament, but in the end they would not even let themselves off the hook!"

"De Rossi, De Rossi! It seems that he won't be able to shoulder Totti's burden in the short term!"

“This is a fatal mistake!”

"He Tianqi's substitution finally went wrong!"

"Does this also mean that He Tianqi's magic is about to end?"

Guardiola turned and looked at Domenech.

Is astrology so awesome?

Really back to square one!
This……

How about I go and be Domenech's assistant for two years and learn some skills?
Guardiola's eyes rolled around.

"Come on, De Rossi, your defensive choice was not wrong, it was just an accident!" He Tianqi shouted loudly on the sidelines, "The game is not over yet!"

"We still have a chance!"

"Even if we go into overtime, we are younger than them!"

"Believe me, I've seen this a lot! But the team I coach always wins!"

"I promise, this trophy is ours!"

At the critical moment, He Tianqi stood out.

The confidence on his face almost overflowed from the screen.

But when Camignani patted the vest of He Tianqi who had returned to his seat, and was about to speak, he found his hands were covered in sweat.

He Tianqi's vest was completely wet.

"Why do you have to take all the pressure on yourself?" Camignani asked, "What you just said, if you lose in the end, the whole world will laugh at you."

He Tianqi stared at the court intently: "The own goal was very damaging to their morale. They were tied at the last minute and they had already lost the belief in winning."

"You might even think that God is helping the French team."

"At this time, their opponent is no longer the French, but God!"

"Make them believe that they are useless. They need external forces, a helper who can compete with God!"

"That can only be me!"

"Because I am the Pope of the stadium! When God comes here, I am in charge!"

boom!
Pirlo launched an attack directly with a long pass from the backcourt.

Tony got the ball with difficulty under a triple team and made a shot.

Unfortunately, he was disturbed too badly and failed to exert his full strength, so the football was confiscated.

The whole game is over.

Three to three!
Next up is overtime!
He Tianqi immediately rushed into the court, and the players surrounded him.

He Tianqi: "Tony, you... Pirlo... Zambrotta, hold on a little longer... De Rossi, switch positions with Gattuso and go over to help Zambrotta..."

He Tianqi called out the name of each player and said a word or two to them.

But in fact, from a tactical point of view, there is no change.

In other words, these words could have been left unsaid.

But as He Tianqi called out the player's name, the player was immediately dragged into the head coach's tactical arrangements, got into game form, and blocked out external interference.

The impact of the own goal conceded at the last minute was also weakened.

At this moment, the man who stood among them and gave orders, waged war against God on their behalf.

And they only need to win this battle in the world!
"Shout after me, champion, champion, champion!" He Tianqi roared.

"champion!"

"champion!"

"champion!"

The Italian team is united and rebuilding their confidence.

The morale of the French team next to them was suppressed, and many people turned to look at the Italian team.

As for what Domenech said, "We are now in a favorable position in terms of the zodiac, Gemini and Sagittarius should seize the opportunity, Taurus' fortune is not very good, so they should pass the ball more, and Cancer should control themselves", what the hell is all this?
Soon, overtime began.

Due to physical problems, the defensive quality of both sides declined.

In the 101st minute, Makelele made a diagonal pass to Zidane.

Zidane dribbled horizontally through the middle and got rid of the defense.

The Italian team's defenders played it safe and did not dare to close the defense to avoid being passed by Zidane, thus creating opportunities in the dangerous area in the middle.

Zidane made a pass and then moved forward.

Sagnol made a cross and caught Zidane's bald head.

boom!
Bald acceleration!

Zidane headed the ball from long distance.

But the ball speed is very fast!

The angle is very tricky!

boom!
Buffon made the highest quality save of the game.

He lifted Zidane's header over the crossbar with one hand.

This was a huge save.

Otherwise the football will hit the underside of the crossbar and bounce into the net.

Everyone on the French team wailed.

Zidane waved his hands in frustration.

Domenech kept muttering: "I told Cancer to control himself. If he stops the ball and shoots again, it will go in!"

Domenech had no idea that every time Zidane ran, his right foot felt like it was stepping on a mountain of knives.

It's just that he was born with a cold face, not very expressive, and never showed his emotions, so you couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.

This is very similar to Bellingham in the future.

The latter consciously imitated Zidane in many ways.

Finding a good template will be more beneficial to his development to a certain extent.

Soon, the overtime entered the second half.

But not long after the kick-off, Henry's team reached the end without any confrontation.

Muscle strain!

However, the French team no longer has room for substitutions.

After the team doctor's bandage treatment, Henry had no choice but to return to the court.

But he can basically only be used as half a player.

In the 114th minute, Zidane faked Zaccardo and then passed the ball to challenge Barzagli.

With a flick and a dribble, he created a shooting opportunity.

However, Zaccardo did not give up after being passed, but tried hard to chase back.

When Zidane raised his foot to shoot, he fell to the ground and poked the ball away from behind.

Zidane kicked Zaccardo in the thigh.

The latter screamed.

The Italian team hopes that the referee will give Zidane a second yellow card.

But the referee believed that Zidane's action was not intentional and Zaccardo came from behind, so he did not give Zidane a card.

Domenech jumped up and down to react to the fourth referee, saying that the yellow card should not have been given.

However, He Tianqi took the opportunity to find Maldini and said, "At the last moment, I will arrange the penalty shootout candidates on the sidelines, and then you..."

Maldini then found Pirlo.

Pirlo looked to the sidelines and He Tianqi nodded.

In the 118th minute, the overtime is about to end.

He Tianqi pulled Guardiola and Camignani to the sidelines to discuss the selection of penalty takers.

Guardiola took notes with a notebook.

Domenech also quickly asked the assistant coaches to come over to discuss the matter.

The movements on the sidelines naturally could not be hidden from the players on the field.

Just when everyone was distracted, Pirlo suddenly launched an attack with a long pass, looking for Maldini who had been standing in a high position in the last few minutes.

Sagnol tried to make up for it.

But Maldini also made a move to rush towards Sagnol, which was like he could stop the ball perfectly after it fell, and then cut inside and pass Sagnol.

So Sagnol stopped.

As a result, Maldini also stopped.

boom!
The football bounced toward the baseline after hitting the ground.

After Maldini passed the ball, he chased after the football.

Sagnol caught up but was one body length behind.

Maldini caught up with the ball and kicked it with his left foot.

Saniol didn't have time to brake and was wiped out of the picture.

"It's over! Martini has passed!"

"Cut along the bottom line!"

Thuram rushed over.

Maldini raised his left foot on the left side of the penalty area.

Thuram blocks the shot with a flying tackle!
Prevent Maldini from crossing.

But Maldini made another move with his left foot and the ball rolled into the small penalty area.

Maldini followed up to the right, widened the shooting angle, and kicked the ball with his right foot.

Because the distance was not enough, he had to give up his balance.

boom!
The football flies toward the goal.

Maldini slipped and fell to the ground.

But at this moment, no one felt that he was in a mess.

Many Chinese fans even had Xu Beihong’s painting of galloping horses in their minds!
The long hair flying freely and the horse's hooves raised, it seems as if she has never aged!

Huang Jianxiang in the CTV director's room exploded and grabbed the microphone: "Maldini, Maldini has done a great job! Don't give the French any chance!"

"Great Italian left-back!"

"He has inherited Italy's glorious tradition!"

"Facchetti, Cabrini, and Grosso are possessed by their souls at this moment!"

"Maldini is a man who represents the long history and tradition of Italian football!"

"At this moment, he is not fighting alone!"

"He is not alone!"

Swish!
The football flew into the sky, overturned the top of the French team's goal and hit the upper side of the goal.

"GOAL!"

"Four to three!"

"Martini!"

"Kill!"

"Can you believe it? Maldini scored from the left!"

“An old horse in the stable still has ambitions to run a thousand miles! A martyr in his old age still has ambitions!”

"Paolo Maldini! When He Tianqi invited him to return to the national team, 70% of Italian fans disagreed!"

“It turns out that this is He Tianqi’s finishing touch!”

“People thought the old horse was done running.”

“But who would have thought that he could not only run, but even run to the end!”

“Is this old horse finally going to make up for his lack of a major championship?”

"Oh! The footage is replaying. This is what happened before. He Tianqi was talking to Maldini, and then Maldini found Pirlo!"

"Oh my god! Could it be that this ball was arranged by He Tianqi?"

"Incredible!"

"This way, the French team won't have much time left!"

The Italian team celebrated wildly.

Everyone rushed towards Maldini.

The French team was not even in the mood to remind the referee to kick off as soon as possible.

Because everyone thought it was impossible.

Until Zidane found the referee.

The game then restarted with a tug of war between the two sides.

He even had an argument with Cannavaro because of this.

In the 121st minute, the extra time is about to end.

Zidane took the initiative to ask for the ball and then made a Marseille turn to pass Pirlo who was trying to steal the ball.

Pirlo used his hands and feet, trying to stop Zidane with a foul.

Zidane slapped Pirlo away and completed the breakthrough.

He kicked the football away.

Get ready to catch the ball and shoot from long range.

Whether successful or not, this is the last attempt of his career!
Pfft!
Zidane's right foot was empty and he fell forward.

The football gradually appeared on the same level as his vision.

Then it went dark.

His head hit the grass. He quickly raised his head, but his vision was briefly blurred by the impact and he could not see the football clearly.

boom!
Zidane hammered the turf angrily.

His eyes turned red.

Beep beep!

The referee blew the whistle three times.

The whistle sounded to end the game.

Zidane lay on the grass, buried his face in the green grass, and did not get up.

He nourishes the green grass with his tears but refuses sympathy from the outside world.

"Zidane fell!"

"competition is over!"

"In that case, the winner of this match is Italy."

"Congratulations to the Italian team, they are the champions of the 2006 World Cup in Germany!"

"In this summer when Italian football was almost collapsed, they shouldered greater pressure than any other team, marched forward bravely, and reached the pinnacle of world football!"

"Their tenacity defeated all opponents!"

"This is a great victory!"

"Similarly, we also want to give applause to the French team, their performance in this game was equally wonderful!"

"They had a more difficult tournament than Italy even did."

"If this French team wasn't so old, they might have achieved even better results."

"Zidane turned around, he propped himself up, sat on the grass and looked into the distance."

"This tournament was a success for him, but it was also brutal."

"He failed to complete the last shot after all!"

"We can see that his right ankle is very swollen! This means he has been suffering from the injury for a long time."

"But you couldn't see the pain on his face at all."

"His performance on the court made people completely unaware of the severity of his right foot injury until his last breakthrough!"

He Tianqi walked up to Zidane. He did not celebrate too much. After simply shaking hands with some people, he stood side by side with Zidane.

Click!

A reporter captured this scene and left behind a world-famous painting!
He Tianqi looked into the distance: "Do you want me to pull you up?"

Zidane looked in the same direction: "No, I want to sit for a while."

He Tianqi: "How long do you want to rest?"

Zidane: "I don't know. I've played football all my life and got injured. Maybe three to five years, or maybe I'll just rest forever."

It was clearly talking about the problem at hand, but it seemed as if it was talking about a long time in the future.

He Tianqi curled his lips and said, "Let me know when the time comes. I will vacate the position of teaching assistant and give you a promotion."

Zidane laughed: "Can't I just be the head coach?"

He Tianqi: "You are already injured, how can you become the head coach directly? You must be my assistant coach for a while first, and then go out and find a job when you feel you are ready again."

"No more talking. I'm going to be interviewed. Contact me anytime."

He Tianqi turned and left.

"Hey!" Zidane's voice came, "Pull me up, are you really going to let me sit here?"

He Tianqi smiled and turned around, pulling Zidane up from the ground: "Honestly, do you regret this game?"

Zidane looked at his right ankle and shook his head: "No regrets, I tried everything I could, this is the most perfect ending for a professional athlete."

He Tianqi nodded: "Better than coming to an abrupt end!"

The two hugged each other, and He Tianqi turned and went to the interview area.

Zidane looked at He Tianqi's back.

If before this World Cup, Zidane planned to enjoy life with his family for at least ten years after retirement.

Now, he has shortened that time to five years.

It may even be further shortened in the future.

But... Zidane turned around and saw Guardiola staring at him.

Huh?
Why are his eyes filled with hatred?
There was also an anxious gaze in the stands.

Is that Simeone, Atletico Madrid's Argentine midfielder?
The one who comes is not kind.

The one who beat you Argentina was He Tianqi, not me, Zidane. Why are you glaring at me?

Little did he know that when He Tianqi was speaking, a gust of wind blew over, and Guardiola, who was not far away, heard sporadic words such as "assistant coach", "make room", and "position".

Damn Zidane!

Guardiola: I haven't officially retired yet, and you want to replace me?
Simeone: The way He Tianqi spoke to Zidane was similar to when he recruited me! Am I not his only successor?
At this point, the 2006 World Cup Twilight of the Gods came to a perfect end.

But the era of these people has not yet passed.

They will follow in He Tianqi's footsteps and start competing again in another dimension.

If we can't play football together, we can still be head coaches together!
……

He Tianqi, who was in the press interview area, received blessings from reporters from all walks of life.

But a reporter's question interrupted the main theme of winning the World Cup.

Daily Sports reporter: "He Tianqi, Sanz won 80% of the votes in the first vote of the Real Madrid Zhu Xi campaign."

"He called for the destruction of Italy and the defeat of He Tianqi."

"How are you going to deal with a fatal blow from Real Madrid?"

Many reporters at the scene clenched their fists.

Everyone has so many questions about the World Cup, and the fans are waiting for it. Why the hell do you have to disgust people at this time?

Push it out!
