Chapter 129 Master of Football

The face-to-face competition of the Wright brothers on the World Cup stage is undoubtedly a very good gimmick in this World Cup, enough to attract the attention of fans all over the world. The two brothers, a mother, play for two different teams in Brazil and Belgium, and are very promising on the World Cup stage. What is more attractive than this in the same competition?

However, compared with Brazil's opponent Ghana in the 1/8 final, it is not easy for Belgium to overcome the difficulty of France.

When it comes to French football, the first thing Digan thinks of is Zidane, an undisputed football master. If anyone can make the arrogant Digan really admire in the field of football, Zidane will undoubtedly rank first.

It is completely a pleasure to watch Zidane play football. The Frenchman is born to be a romantic master. On the football field, he is playing football instead of playing football.

Although Zidane's slightly old face is not handsome, the football under his feet is undoubtedly the most classic football in the 21st century. These are simple kicking movements, but when Zidane performs these simple movements, people will be surprised to find that simplicity can also become elegant under his feet.

Even UN Secretary-General Annan commented on Zidane: "He is an outstanding artist, an artist on the green field."

All over Europe, if you mention LaCastellane, everyone will tell you that it is full of hooligans, thieves and liars. But now, people will add a sentence, and there is also the king of football.

Locates in LaCastellane, a suburb of Marseille, and is a famous settlement for North African immigrants in France. In the 1960s, Zidane's father, Smur, was an Algerian Arab and a remote mountain village in Algeria. When he came here, he would not know that his son would go to the world from here and become the pride of the whole France.

Growing up on the empty, desolate and dusty streets of Marseille, Zidane released his talent. Poor life did not suppress his football-loving nature, but made him maintain a modest and simple heart after becoming famous.

Zidane, an Algerian immigrant, was born in Marseille. Until now, although the hero is late, the Maasai still regards Zidane as their own hero.

However, Zidane's career did not start from Marseille. At the age of 14, he was favored by scouts in Cannes and signed an apprenticeship contract with him. In 1988, Zidane, who was only 16 years old, began his football career in Cannes. After two seasons, he grew into the main force of the team.

In 1992, as Cannes was relegated to Class B, Zidane transferred to Bordeaux, and a new star rose from then on. In the four seasons in Bordeaux, Zidane is the best passer in Ligue 1. His accurate passing can always help his teammates make contributions. Although his 28 goals in 139 games are not very good, he has taken care of Bordeaux's midfield.

However, despite Zidane's excellent performance, Bordeaux has never won the league championship. In 1996, Zidane transferred to Juventus in Serie A. Juventus' five years have culminated Zidane's career, and Juventus won the league championship in both 1996/97 and 1997/98.

In Serie A, Zidane's technology has made greater progress. The Italian, who has always advocated defense, was shocked by the delicate tape under his feet, especially his unrestrained ball, which was named "Marsei Roulette".

At first, Juventus fans compared him with Platini, but gradually they found that Zidane was not the same as Platini. Zidane had his own way of playing, and he focused more on a fatal pass than a shot.

As early as Bordeaux, the talented Zidane had been selected for the French national team. On August 17, 1994, in the match against the Czech Republic, Zidane kicked twice in the last 5 minutes. At that time, Zidane was 22 years old, which was also the first time he scored twice in his career. In 1996 European Cup, Zidane became the core of the midfield of the national team coached by Yakai. This laid the groundwork for him to reach the top of the world two years later.

In 1998, the World Cup was held in France, and Zidane appeared on the stage of the World Cup for the first time. In the group stage, the host France easily advanced to the top 16 with a three-game victory, but Zidane was suspended for two games by a red card due to deliberately stepping on people in the match with Saudi Arabia. France, which lost Zidane, couldn't find a better way to score in the 1/8 final. Although they had been bombing Paraguay's goal, Chiravet's bravery brought the game into overtime. If it hadn't been for Blanco's golden goal at the last moment, maybe Zidane would have become a sinner.

After entering the top 8, France first eliminated Italy with a penalty, and then defeated Croatia, the dark horse, relying on two goals from Thuram, and finally met the defending champion Brazil in the final.

Although France reached the final, public opinion is optimistic about Brazil, because they have Ronaldo, who was at the peak at that time.

However, it was not Ronaldo's bald head, but Zidane's bald head, whose two headers helped France laugh to the end. France won the World Cup for the first time, and at the end of 1998, Zidane also won the title of World Footballer of the Year.

In the 2000 European Cup, Zidane stood on the stage of challenge again. What he challenged was the spell that the world champion could not win the European championship continuously. In the face of the so-called fate spell, Zidane did not retreat. In the knockout match with Spain, his exquisite free kick sent the team to the top four. Next, he scored a penalty in the semi-finals and led the team to the final with Italy. In the final, France staged the earth-shaking reversal at the last moment.

The spell that the world champion could not win the European championship ended in front of Zidane's "Marseile Roulette". Like two years ago, Zidane won the title of World Footballer of World Footballer again at the end of 2000.

In 2001, 29-year-old Zidane landed on the Iberian Peninsula and became a member of the Galactic Battleship. Compared with Serie A, La Liga is more committed to attack, and Zidane, who is good at attacking, is like a fish in water at Real Madrid. He plays his unique skills of passing, bringing and shooting to the fullest. On May 15, 2002, in the Champions Cup final in Glasgow, Zidane defeated Leverkusen with a very difficult left foot volley to help Real Madrid win the ninth championship.

In La Liga, Zidane is like an elegant dancer. He looks comfortable in the midfield of Real Madrid, and the flashing pass is always full of wisdom.

However, the good times did not last long. With the addition of Ronaldo, Beckham and other superstars, Real Madrid became a gathering place for big names. Although the stars are bright, it has no combat effectiveness. And the gradual increase in age made Zidane unable to do it on the court.

In the 2002 World Cup, France was out early. In the 2004 European Cup, France failed to defend its title. In the 2003/04 season, 2004/05 season and 2005/06 season, Real Madrid failed for three consecutive seasons. There are signs that Zidane, who is about to turn 34 years old, is indeed old, and his "Marsei Roulette" is beginning to play.

Of course, for Zidane and fans who like him, there is another chance for the 2006 World Cup, which will be the last time Zidane to show his charming dance steps to the world.

As a representative of today's art football, Zidane's status in football is unquestionable. Many players have been ridiculed as "sorry for their value" after the transfer, but even if Zidane is 65 million US dollars, he will be said to be worth money.

Elegant tape, magical passing, Zidane's technology is impeccable. Lippi said that Zidane is the best star in the last 20 years, while Yakai simply defines him as the best star in the history of world football.

In the history of French football, in terms of his role and achievements in the national team, he has surpassed Platini and become a symbol of French football.

In the past 10 years, Zidane has been a well-deserved hungry symbol and representative of the use of art to fight against the mechanical trend. His little skills are perfect and pleasing to the eyes. Whether it is stopping the ball, controlling the ball, passing the ball or discarding, Zidane has done just right, wonderfully, like a soothing serenade, making People are lingering and forgetting to return.

In a flick of his fingers, Zidane is also 34 years old, and this World Cup has become his curtain call. In the German World Cup in Digan's previous life, Zidane was conscientious and almost brought France to the finals on his own.

In that final, Digan originally wanted to appreciate the perfect curtain call of the art master, but Zidane in the final left a peerless classic for the fans in an extreme way, an eternal fan. He hit Materazzi with his head in a sudden anger, resulting in a red card, a generation of art football. In this way, the teacher ended his brilliant football career.

In that game, Zidane dominated the game for 110 minutes, but left with 10 minutes left. At the moment he turned around, the era of artistic football created by the genius front waists represented by him in the mid-1990s was completely sealed in the corridor of history, with loose cheeks and arrogant backs. From then on, his role was only for people to stand on. He had the opportunity to get perfection and worship, but he finally chose After regret and blame, are geniuses always unwilling to be insipid?

But as long as he stands on the court, the attention and cheers will not be dull!

Perhaps the fruits of art can only be perfectly sublimated in such amazement, and the shortcomings are also the most vivid classics.

Looking at the adult stars with remarkable performance in today's football, only Ronald and Riquelme are qualified to become figures in the category of artistic football, and in the whole Europe, there are almost only steel warriors who run or shovel when they see the ball. Of course, they are also worthy of respect, but if football is only the bloody battle of the bayonet and no How solemn and boring the gentle performance will be!

Zidane is undoubtedly the best player in the world today. The style of the ball is full of classicalism. The footwork is delicate, beautiful and accurate. The handicap technique is clean and neat. The field vision is wide. He is good at grasping the situation on the court. The passing is clever and accurate. There are many shooting methods and rushing in front of the goal. Strong strike power.

Zidane is also recognized as a great midfielder in the world. In France, he is regarded as the successor of the former French star Platini and the core of the French team's midfield. He won the two highest honors in international football for the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Cup for France, which even Platini can't compare with it. .

For Zidane's football career, it is hard to describe the word legend. The skills on the court are extraordinary, and the people off the court are outstanding. Zidane, a professional player of Deyi, has set a standard of truly excellent players for contemporary fans during his 18-year career as a professional player.

In his club career, Zidane has completed the curtain call. On May 7, 2006, he completed his last game in Bernabeu. In that game, the players of Real Madrid wore a special underwear, which was printed with the team emblem of Real Madrid, and the team emblem read this line-- Zidane 2001-2006.

As people expected in advance, Real Madrid fans gave a player the highest courtesy they could get. Throughout the game, fans kept applauding Zidane, not only because of his unparalleled performance in Real Madrid, but also because of Zidane throughout his career. Explain to the world what is perfect.

It is a little regrettable that Real Madrid only drew 3-3 with their opponents in this match against Liarreal. Zidane scored the second goal for Real Madrid, and he did not make any celebration after the goal.

For Zidane, it seems that he has reached the state of no desire. After that game, he exchanged jerseys with Argentine Riquelme, the core of Villarreal. The hero cherished the hero and listened to the cheers of the fans and the sound of calling his name over and over again. Zidane, 34, silently shed tears and bid farewell to Real Madrid, whom he had played for for five years.

At the end of his career, Zidane did not gradually go to sunset like others. Instead, he still plays as steadily and well as he was young. When people mention him, he is still regarded as one of the most important players of our time and tied with the best players of all his time.

Zidane, a knight who likes to smile. On the training ground, on the playing field, he always smiles at his teammates and even opponents. This is a responsible artist. Marseille slave and magical stop, ball control and pass, he is simply an elf on the green field.

Zidane, the spiritual pillar of the team on the court, does not disappoint a penalty or free kick at every critical moment; he is a good father of three children and a good husband of a woman, and has never had any scandal or scandals.

Zidane is a knight who combines classical, romantic and realistic. When he turned around and left, he left an irreproducible legend, many touching moments, and a huge portrait by the seaside of Marseille.

He is Zidane.

Even if Degan is asked to personally select 100 stars in today's world football, Zidane must be ranked first, which is indisputable.

Digan worshipped Zidane. In his previous life, he fantasized about playing like the French. He even hoped that everything of the French could be perfectly copied on him, except for the bald head.

But worship is one thing. When it comes to the court and the game, it is another thing. Since it is an idol, there is no better way to express worship than defeating idols with your own hands.

"Zidane is a perfect player. He is a well-deserved king of this era, yes! He is my idol, and what he shows on the court is unimaginable, no! I didn't say that. We will do our best in the game. Zidane is my idol, but I prefer to beat him on the court!"

Before the game, in an interview with reporters, Digan expressed his confidence in winning. Zidane is very strong. Now the French team is stronger than Belgium, but the football game is not data analysis, and there are not a few star players who can decide the outcome of the game.

Degan seems to be full of confidence, and the media seems to be very confident about Belgium, believing that this will be a close match. Although France is the world champion, their previous performance in the group stage is difficult to make people have too much confidence in them.

Belgium's performance in the group stage is eye-catching. It has scored eight goals in three games, not the most among all the teams participating in the World Cup, but Belgium's strength in the group stage makes it easy to place higher expectations on them.

In particular, Degan scored six goals in two games and has a strong scoring ability, which makes any team dare not take him lightly. At present, the biggest problem for this French team is their defense line.

The goalkeeper Bats's state fluctuated greatly in the group stage, especially several mistakes against South Korea, which now makes France repeat the mistakes of the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan.

Although the central defender partners Thuram and Galas are both world-class famous generals, they are old and slow to turn around, so that they can easily be caught in their physical weakness when defending the powerful striker such as Degan.

Although the two full-backs Saniol and Abidar are very active, their defensive ability is weak, which is not an insurmountable defense for Degan, who is used to switching to the sidelines on the field.

"Zidane announced that he will officially retire after the end of the World Cup, which is a pity for world football. I think people hope to enjoy more of his performances, but unfortunately, I think everything is likely to end after the end of this game!"

Degan suddenly said such a sentence, and the reporters surrounding him were stunned. After reacting, the eyes of the French reporters were immediately full of anger. Degan clearly said that Belgium would eliminate France in this game and completely end Zidane's football career.

"He seems to be too confident. I admit that he is an excellent young player, but if he feels that Belgium has the ability to beat France, then he is very wrong. All the suspense will end at the end of the game, and then he will find how ridiculous he is!"

Zidane didn't say anything, but Zidane's good friend Tulam couldn't help but stand up and refute Degan's words. In France, Zidane was the leader of their old players. It was precisely because Zidane announced his return to the national team that he and Macklei Only then did he decide to play in the World Cup again.

Now that Degan has made a big statement that he wants to end Zidane's career, how can Turam stand it: "I will let him see the power of the French in the game. French football is not only art, but also iron-blooded!"

Before the game, the atmosphere of the two teams gradually changed from friendly to a little bit of gunpowder. Degan had sent a letter to Zidane, but the greatest player in French football history seemed to lack interest in this kind of thing and always remained silent.

The knockout battle began, and Germany, the first host to play, will face the Viking Sweden. Before the game, although Sweden's top scorer Ibrahimovic vowed to shoot the German team's goal during the game, the final result of the game slapped the Swedish boss in the face. Palm, 3:0!

The Germans won without surprise and relaxed. Ibrahimovic, who wanted to teach Lehman a lesson before the game, completely disappeared during the game. In the first and second half, there were only three shots, all of which deviated from the goal and even failed to test Leman's neural line.

"If he was going to shoot my goal in this way, I was really shocked!"

After the game, Lehman got a cheap and obedient statement, and Ibrahimovic, who lost his face, once again paid the price for his big mouth.

At the same time, in another competition, the South American giant Argentina defeated Mexico from North America 2:1. Messi, who was highly expected by Peckelman, played very well in the game. On the contrary, Tevez, who served as a foil on the front line, was very eye-catching and scored twice to help Argentina advance smoothly. The next round.

The next day, it will always be a face-to-face competition between England and Ecuador of the platinum generation. Finally, with a free kick from Beckham, the English passed the test. However, depending on their performance in the whole game, the English people's good luck is estimated to have stopped here. It is basically impossible to go further. Facts have once again proved that England's strength, that is, just talk, there is no need to take it seriously!

The strong encounter between Portugal and the Netherlands is probably the most eye-catching game in the top 16, but the development of the game is beyond everyone's expectations. The two recognized representatives of artistic football show people in this game is not their outstanding skills, but endless. The foul.

In this game, the referee Kleberson from Iceland had a total of four red cards and eleven yellow cards, and even the Dutch coach Van Basten was sent to the stands. In the end, Portugal, with Ronaldo's goal, rushed to the next round, and the orange tulips will continue their title of uncrowned king.

The match between Italy and Oceania team Australia was thrilling. During the game, the Australians scored the first goal, and then Italy relied on Luca. Tony's goal equalized the score, but in the second half, Materazzi had an unnecessary foul and was expelled from the field. The Italian team, which had played one less, was almost driven to a desperate situation by Australia led by Hiddink.

Finally, the great Italian left-back Grosso stood up. His breakthrough caused a foul for the Australian defender. Totti scored the final goal. Huang Daxian of the Celestial Empire was also overexcited and unscrupulous, contrary to the basic law of a harmonious society of the Celestial Empire, and was CC A.V drove out of the World Cup studio and talked about crosstalk from then on.

The dialogue between Switzerland and Ukraine was slightly dull. In the end, the two sides drew 00-0 in regular time and overtime and shot each other's penalty shoots. The Ukrainians were lucky to eliminate Switzerland and reached the quarterfinals for the first time in the World Cup.

Defending champion Brazil faced the challenge of Ghana. Before the start of this game, almost everyone thought that Brazil would win easily, but the Ghanaians told the world that they did not come to the World Cup for soy sauce. After half a game, the two sides were still 0:0, and even on the scene, Ghanaians were still faintly It has an advantage.

If it hadn't been for a genius cooperation between Kaka and Ronaldinho in the second half, who broke into the penalty area, received Kaka's overhead ball and shot into the net, Kaka would have been a bubble if he wanted to meet Digan in the quarter-finals.

During the game, Adriano once became the target of fans' attack. The performance of the super shooter from Inter Milan in the World Cup was really unsatisfactory. He scored a goal in three group matches and one knockout match against Japan, which was really not in line with his reputation.

However, Brazilian coach Pereira seems to have made up his mind to support Adriano: "He has not adjusted to the best state. In fact, Serie A has consumed too much energy, but I believe that the bigger he will be, the better he will be. In the next game against France, I firmly believe that he will score goals!"

The next game against France!?

After learning of Pereira's remarks, Degan almost rushed to the hotel where the Brazilian team stayed and competed with Pereira, an old-fashioned dish.

Before the game was played, Pereira vowed that the country would advance to the next round. Isn't it obvious that she looks down on people?

Digan is very angry and the consequences are very serious!

"Pereira had better wash his buttocks, because after the quarter-finals, he can't meet people with his face in his life. He hopes that his next opponent will be France, okay! His wish is beautiful! But I want to tell him how cruel the reality is!"
