road to victory

Chapter 89 The curtain of the European Cup
The brow that Le Maire frowned just now loosened again, what did he think was the matter.This is a trivial matter. Anyway, he is now a coach in Lens, and the pressure is not too great. Although he has more responsibilities in the national team, he also has more honors, so Fan Shang does not talk about this kind of thing. Will continue to stay in the national team. "Don't worry, Fan Shang, I will not leave the national team."

"Great, Roger." Fan Shang looked at his watch, "It's getting late today, so I'll go back first, and I have to get up early tomorrow, so you should go to bed earlier."

Then came the scene where Le Maire sent Vincent out of his room with a smile.

After Vincent reconciled with Le Maire, Jacquet was very happy, but a little surprised.Several times he asked Vincent, but Vincent just laughed and did not answer, and Le Maire was exactly the same as Vincent.In the end, Jacquet could only give up.

Fan Shang really can't say it, he can say "Ai Mei, in fact, both of us are thinking about your seat, two days ago it was just an uneven distribution of spoils, now we have clearly divided the benefits, and it's okay." '?Obviously not, so what should I do, I can only play tricks with Yakai.

The warm-up match schedule before the European Cup is very tight. After defeating Finland at home, the French team will rush to Stuttgart to warm up with the German team.

In this game, the two teams are both the main force and the substitute, so both teams have moisture, but the route of the French team's passing and receiving in this game is obviously a little different from the previous game.In the last game, the midfielder and the backcourt often poured the ball, but this game strengthened the frequency of passing the ball to both sides and made better use of the width of the court.

The score of this game was 1:0, France won. Judging from the scene, the French team had some advantages, but Vincent could see that the German team was really warming up and did not show their due strength at all.

The two consecutive victories of the French team's warm-up match also stimulated the French media, and they began to tout it strongly.All kinds of voices are expected to win the championship, and all kinds of finals are not a problem.

Immediately, the French team announced their 23-man roster for the final European Cup.

Goalkeepers: 1 Bernard Lama, 16 Fabien Barthez, 22 Bruno Martini

"Francois, is Nedved's signing finalized?"

The French team's group matches were held in the two cities of Newcastle and Leeds, so the French team set up their camp in Leeds.

This list was mainly decided by Jacques, and Vincent's only role was to resolutely bring Lizarazu to England.Originally, Jacquet didn't want to recruit Lizarazu, thinking that he had some injuries. Finally, after thinking about it, Dimeco will be the main left back at that time. The strength of the cup champion captain is also good, and seeing Fan Shang is so determined, it is hard to refuse.

Forwards: 13 Christophe Dugarry, 11 Patrice Loko, 17 Mickael Madar

This time the French Football Association still pays more attention to this European Cup. Since France did not enter the finals in the 94 World Cup, and the 98 World Cup was held in France, this European Cup will be an important test of the quality of the French team. the match of.

"Tomorrow I will go back to England to sign a contract with him." Francois replied

Fan Shang nodded, Yakai's mentality is very good, Fan Shang felt that he should learn from Yakai's calm and calm attitude.

France will play Romania at St James' Park in Newcastle.

"The funds in Strasbourg are a little slow. I just received it yesterday and I can make up the first installment of Nedved, so tomorrow I will go to sign with Nedved in person, and then give the second installment to Prague. The transfer fee for the first phase." Francois explained.

With England's 1:1 draw with the Swiss team in the first game, the curtain of the European Cup in 96 opened.The French team ushered in the first game of this European Cup on the third day.

"Didn't I ask you to finish it before the European Cup? Why did it take so long?" Fan Shang's voice was a little high. Fortunately, the Czech Republic lost the first game, or the cooked duck might have flown away.

Before leaving France, Vincent received a call from Francois, who told Vincent that the final contracts of Pires, Dacourt and Nedved had all been negotiated and would be formally signed before the European Cup.Vincent was very happy, but he told François not to rush to announce these signings, and wait until the European Cup.And the sold players can announce now, this does not need to delay.

After watching the match, Fan Shang immediately picked up the phone and dialed out.

"Okay, hurry up, Nedved must be dealt with before the start of the second game in the Czech Republic." Vincent said unquestionably, "Are you coming to Leeds?"

After arriving in Leeds, the French team stayed in a slightly suburban hotel, mainly for quietness, and the training ground rented by the French team was also near this hotel.

On the second day after the list was announced, Lizarazu reported to the team and underwent a physical examination. The results of the physical examination were very good, and his toes were completely fine, which relieved Jacquet's slightly uneasy heart down.

"The media is like this. When you are good, they praise you to the sky. When you are not good, they want to smash you to the ground and stomp on your feet." Yakai felt indifferent. "So don't go to the media to say anything, just do your own thing."

Seeing Dugari score a goal, Vincent felt mixed.The good news is that Dugarry's value will definitely rise, but the worry is the reaction of Bordeaux fans after Dugarry is sold.

Before boarding the plane, Claude Simeone, then president of the French Football Federation, met with all members of the French team.It was only then that Fan Shang discovered that leaders all over the world are similar, they like to give speeches, and they like to talk loudly.

Guards: 2 Jocelyn Angloma, 3 Eric DiMeco, 5 Laurent Blanc, 12 Bixente Lizarazu , 15 Lilian Thuram (Lilian Thuram), 20 Alain Roche (Alain Roche), 4 Frank Leboeuf (Frank Leboeuf), 8 Marcel Desailly (Marcel Desailly)

"It's okay, just watching the media boasting so much, I don't know if we can go back to China if we lose a game."

Midfielders: 21 Corentin Martins, 19 Christian Karembeu, 6 Vincent Guérin, 7 Didier Deschamps (captain) (C ), 18 Reynald Pedros, 14 Sabri Lamouchi, 10 Zinedine Zidane, 9 Youri Djorkaef

The European Cup is still in progress, but the Czech team, which Vincent pays more attention to, disappointed him a bit.The Czech Republic lost 0:2 to the German team in the first game. Although Nedved's performance was not bad, but due to the loss in the first game, his performance was also covered up.

"Fan Shang, what's wrong?"

After getting off to a good start, the French media also exaggerated the bright future of the French team in this competition, and it is hopeful to win the championship.

After Fan Shang read these reports, he dismissed them and threw them aside.It was just in time for Jacques to pass by.

After that, the French team defeated Armenia in the warm-up match, and boarded the plane to England with a three-game winning streak.

This Romanian team is not a big fish. They have famous players such as Haji and Popescu.The French team controlled the situation very well in the game. Although the Romanians also worked hard to compete with the French team for the control of the midfield under the leadership of Haji, they were hard to beat with four hands. In Zidane, Djorkaeff The midfielder led by Didier Deschamps and others suppressed the Romanians very well.

It was Dugarry who seized the opportunity. His goal in the 25th minute gave France the lead. The score of 1:0 was also maintained until the end of the game.

"I won't go, I have to solve the follow-up problems of these transfers."

"Well, let me know the latest news. AC Milan should pay more attention to it. Christopher's goal in the first game may have a positive impact on his worth. Make it as soon as possible, and the price may fluctuate if it is too late Yes. As long as Zidane’s French team is still in England for a day, he will be said to be not for sale.”

"Okay, I'll pay attention, and I'll let you know if there's any news."

Fan Shang put down the phone, feeling very dissatisfied with the stretched transfer fee. Thinking of the next season and the UEFA Cup for a year, next year's transfer fee became a question mark again.
