legendary player [football]

Regarding Lamy, because they are far from Leo in terms of personality and age, the two of them usually have very little contact in Clairefontaine, let alone a deep friendship.But his style of play made Leo very insecure. People in their 30s are not even as stable as Varane, a young man in his early twenties.Although being a defender does not require superb foot skills, Lamy's footwork is really rough and unrecognizable, and his steals are reckless. He is often passed by the opponent and has a general sense of position.

He started the first four games of the French team and played the whole game, but he often made some unexpected low-level mistakes on the field, which made Leo feel very incredible. It should be very stable to play in the position.But this person's performance in normal training can be seen that even Umtiti on the bench can't compare.

This is also a point that Leo is very confused about. Why Did Deschamps always insist on going to Lamy instead of Umtiti? It is more important than experience, and Umtiti, like Pogba, has stepped up step by step from all age groups in France. Although he is not as brilliant as Pogba, who has won the Golden Boy Award, his strength should not be underestimated.

But this is only Leo's personal opinion, Deschamps is unwilling to take this risk, and he will not say anything more.The defenders couldn't give him enough sense of security, so he could only run more and actively return to the defense, so that Griezmann also frequently retreated to his own half with him, leaving only Giroud to stay behind .Latest and fastest update

Ireland's decent three-axes at the beginning of the game obviously confused the hosts. Many French players fell behind 0-1 before they even touched the ball.Before the start of the game, many viewers thought that the plot would be a one-sided scene of the French team, and Ireland defended and counterattacked.However, the first half of the game seemed to have taken the wrong script, and the direction was completely off track.

This directly led to the disruption of the tactics arranged by Didier Deschamps before the game. Because of the loss of the ball at the beginning, the French team had to give up the tactical idea of ​​​​playing steadily and controlling the rhythm at the beginning, and instead quickly passed through the midfield after taking the ball. To launch a counterattack, the most important thing right now is to get back the score, otherwise the hosts are likely to call an early curtain call at home in the top [-].

The eagerness to attack meant that the defense, which was already in frequent situations, was even more stretched. Ireland's counterattack was very exciting. Several quick counterattacks caught the French team by surprise and almost lost the gate again.Captain Lloris is usually such a quiet and gentle person, he rarely yells at his teammates on the court, and at this time he couldn't help complaining to his teammates.

Leo understands the captain quite well. He has worked hard to return to the defense, but he has lost sight of the other. After all, he is not from a defensive background. Besides, defense is a weak point. High-quality pursuit, marking, and steals are too demanding for an offensive player. .

The two defensive midfielders Pogba in the midfield have to frequently advance and assist. Although Kanter is a model worker, his coverage alone is limited.The situation on the field was once difficult to see, which made the French fans present disappointed or even desperate, but their enthusiasm for shouting did not decrease at all, but became more enthusiastic.

Ireland seems to see the hope of advancing. As a team that relies on the expansion of UEFA to advance to the European Cup finals, it is not a big miracle for them to enter the round of 2 as the No.16 in the group. If they win this game The game entered the top 8, and they were still the heroes of the whole of Ireland when they eliminated the host.

Therefore, their morale is even higher. When the Irish team was leading 1-0, they did not play conservatively. When the French team was pressing across the board, they did not blindly defend and put the bus in the penalty area, but played with the host. Except for the counter attack, the French team behaved like a small team that was not good enough to play an effective offense. Even the ball possession rate and the success rate of passing and receiving were almost crushed by the opponent.Latest and fastest update

Classmate Leo had only a handful of balls in the first half, not to mention his amazing performance. He and Griezmann looked at each other with helpless eyes from time to time, not only for themselves, but also for the entire team Unsatisfactory performance.

When a team is in trouble, someone has to step up and find a way to solve the problem.In the hearts of French fans, several of the 11 people on the field should take the initiative to stand up and take this responsibility.Captain Lloris, defensive backbone Evra, leading star Pogba, offensive core Griezmann, and even Payette, who has always been active

But no, everyone is still immersed in the disappointment of conceding the ball at the beginning. The expression on Pogba's face is more complicated, self-blame, remorse, and unwillingness to work harder, but the more anxious he is, the more mistakes he makes.

The person who finally stood up to take this responsibility was Leo. He didn't subjectively want to be the leader of the team, but was used to finding breakthroughs in adversity.The main problem on the court now is that the midfield is unorganized, the transition between offense and defense is chaotic, and the ball from the backcourt will only go to the frontcourt. As long as Payette is targeted by the opponent, he will completely lose his connection. .

The first thing he did was to tell Griezmann not to participate in the return visit and to save his energy to fight back.

In the World Cup in Brazil 2 years ago, Griezmann was only a surprise soldier in the hands of Didier Deschamps to win at a critical moment. However, in this European Cup, he has become an indispensable striker for the French team with his economy, piercing the opponent's heart. A sharp blade, scoring ability is unmatched by Giroud as an arrow.

Although Xiaoge far surpasses Leo in terms of age, fame and worth, he is not at all unhappy with Leo's arrangement, and readily nods in agreement.

Next, he wants Pogba to get out of the impatience after sending points. He is the midfielder, the key to the transition from defense to offense. He and Kanter attack and defend, but now they are targeted by the opponent. Marking, as long as Deschamps does not make substitutions, he is very important on the field.

Leo was thinking about the opportunity to have a simple communication with him. It happened that Pogba was taking the ball on the right. Two Irish players double-teamed one left and one right. Pogba flexibly pulled the ball from the right to On the left, he was still tripped by the team members beside him and fell to the ground.

He couldn't stand up for a while, and the referee signaled that the game was suspended and the team doctor entered the field.The temperature in Lyon is very high today, and the players took advantage of this time to go to the sidelines to replenish water.UEFA stipulates that if the temperature exceeds 32c, after consultation between the coaching staff and the head coaches of both sides, the players can be given a short time to drink water.

Leo patted Pogba on the shoulder as he passed behind him, then leaned down and whispered something in his ear, and the latter just nodded and returned to the sidelines with the help of the team doctor.

The weather was too hot, Leo squeezed the kettle and drank it vigorously, and was dragged aside by Deschamps, who repeatedly told him to organize the offense, try to exchange positions with Payette, touch the ball as much as possible but don’t Too sticky to the ball, when it should be worn, the ball is decisively released

Deschamps spoke too fast in order to save time, and Leo's current level of French sounds a bit difficult, but this does not affect anything, because the temporary arrangement of the coach is exactly what he thinks in his heart.

The game restarted. After Kanter got the ball, he gave it to Pogba. The two players wrapped up one left and one right. Leo retreated and responded near the center line, but he was not sure whether the opponent passed the ball back. He, after all, Pogba is notoriously sticky to the ball, worth 1 million euros, and their relationship in the team seems a bit delicate, after all, he is not as soft and cute as Griezmann.

Leo was a little nervous. He had already handed Pogba the gesture to ask for the ball. If the latter just pretended not to see it and chose to break through with the ball, and then broadcast it on TV, tomorrow the sports news headlines around the world will probably be all over the place. It was the resurgence of factions in the French team, and the head star and the son of Qi Zu secretly competed.

Fortunately, all worries are unnecessary. Pogba's passing quality is very high, and the placement is also very good.Leo's ability to hold the ball with his back is very skillful. Before the ball hit the ground, he easily passed the Irish defender who interfered with him. , It really has a bit of the elegance and charm of an artist on the green field.

But in his father's eyes, he is only similar in appearance but not in spirit. There is still a long way to go in the future, and there are still many things to learn and accumulate. By the way, he educated the three young sons beside him: "Look at your big brother!" , How amazing the progress has been over the past year, he was still in the Real Madrid C team last year, and this year he will be able to represent the French team in major competitions such as the European Cup."

The three looked at each other and said in unison: "Oh, I see."

Ireland has obviously done their homework before the game. They have an in-depth analysis of every player on the French team, and every position on the field is very targeted.As soon as Leo got the ball, several opposing players appeared next to him. Although they were not close to press, they blocked his passing route in every direction with almost no gaps.

It is not enough to arrange Griezmann and activate Pogba. The dilemma still exists and the problem has not been resolved.Leo already knew in his heart that this attack would end at his feet. It was difficult to break through and pass the ball, but he couldn't lose the ball so easily without gaining any benefits. He had to find a way.

He kept moving his feet, but his mind was running fast. Payette was directly in front of him, and the pass was easily intercepted by the opponent. Griezmann was on the right, and there was a striker who lost the ball in a wide range of transfers. Pogba was in The front of the penalty area can complete the shot

However, when he took the kick, the ball flew to the back of the penalty area. Giroud's 191c big man leaped high, but Qiu was destroyed by the opponent's central defender who was also over 190c and broke the baseline ahead of time.France won a corner and the result wasn't too bad.

Payette took the corner kick, and Leo and his teammates grabbed the spot in the penalty area.During normal training, he silently observed some small habits of his teammates early on, and inadvertently remembered these details that others could not notice.

He knew very well where Payette's corner kick landed, but when he jumped up, he was grabbed by the opposing defender's arm. He lost his center of gravity, but his head was thrown back in the direction of the ball, and the ball hit him. The back of the head changed direction and flew towards the goal. Irish goalkeeper Randolph hit the ball with one hand.

A shot that seemed to have a good chance was actually not a threat. The angle was too straight and the distance was too close. The goalkeeper made accurate and decisive shots.

Leo fell on the grass, and Pogba complained to the referee about the opponent's foul. However, whoever was fighting for the spot in the penalty area did not make any small moves. The on-duty referee Rizzoli gave a gesture to signal the game to continue.

Leo stood up from the ground and shook his head slightly, not satisfied with his header just now.The first half is coming to an end and the score is still behind.Giroud stepped forward and touched his head, smiling a little naively: "It's better than before, don't worry, there's still the second half."

Leo thinks his beard is a bit funny, but he can't help it. Da Jirou is often a bit cute in contrast, especially when he gives Leo handmade cookies.
