football's most handsome

Originally, Redondo and Juan could still chat here, but soon they had to give up—I don’t know who took the lead in Redondo’s singing of the Spanish national anthem. It was very impassioned, and everyone was full of enthusiasm. Fighting spirit, just listening to the voice through the microphone, Juan has a feeling of eardrum pain.

Redondo: "...It's Guti."

"???" Juan opened his mouth, "You mean, this is Guti leading the singing?"

"Yes." Redondo only felt that he wanted to cover his face, but no matter what he did, he couldn't hide his current predicament - the always low-key Argentine felt uncomfortable at this moment, and just wanted to leave immediately , but Guti was still laughing and laughing alone, he could only continue to wait for his lover.

Thinking of Redondo's predicament at this moment, Juan almost laughed—but to be honest, the boss is the prince of the Bernabéu, so he should have gotten used to such pursuit long ago, right?

Although he knows so many Argentines, everyone seems to be a little insensitive to such things.

"Then what, you guys are busy, I'll hang up first..." Juan felt that he needed a separate space to have a good laugh, and he felt very happy when he thought of the opposite side. "Wait, what are you calling for?" Redondo obviously needed someone to talk to him in order to ease the current embarrassing situation - although he would never say that himself.

"Actually, I think Raul may still be too nervous, and he cares about your opinion, so you must praise him well after the game." Juan said with a light cough.

Redondo frowned: "Praise him? If he performed well during the game, I would naturally do so."

Juan added: "Today is his birthday."

"..." Redondo was silent for a while, "I see, is there anything else?"

Hearing the almost tacit tone of the boss on the other side, Juan chuckled: "Also, actually, boss, all of us care about your opinion, especially about us... so you must Please say something nice."

Redondo frowned again: "But..."

Juan coughed lightly: "Boss, this may be Raul's last World Cup. Don't ask for face-to-face praise, just say a few words to the media, right?"

"..." Redondo hung up the phone directly this time.

Of course Juan knows that it is actually very difficult for the boss to directly praise someone face-to-face, especially because of his character. Even if Redondo himself has become a lot gentler afterwards, this does not mean that he has changed. Be gentle.

——Tenderness and tenderness are completely different words.

So even now, many people are afraid of him and fear him, and there are also many people who care about his thoughts. Even if he is a very mature adult, there will be occasional thoughts in his heart, hoping that he can be someone's pride.

Raul has been carrying Spain for a long time, and he also hopes that someone will pat him on the head and praise him for "good job", but now few people can do this, or have the courage to do so.

After Juan vaccinated the boss, he smiled and waited for the game to start. In fact, he had been looking forward to this game for a long time.

Spain and France, a "Youth Storm" team, and another old and healthy team, who will win?

"Good evening, fans and friends!! Welcome to the Lower Saxony Stadium in Hannover to watch the last match of the 2006 German World Cup 1/8 finals, the match between France and Spain!!" The commentary spoke quickly, "This is a very exciting game. A monumental game - the 700th game in World Cup history and the 99th national team game for Spain captain Raúl Gonzalez!"

"These two teams don't have any history of confrontation in the World Cup. The last time they faced each other was in the quarter-finals of the European Cup in 2002. Raul shot a penalty kick at the last moment. Spain lost 1:4 to France. This game can also be said to be four years late revenge!"

"It's just that Guti, the team's assist king at that time, was watching the game from the stands at this moment. We can see Guti's expression is very... um, joy? Sitting next to him is the famous Argentine who just retired last year. Fernando Redondo, the relationship between the two of them seems to be closer than before, which is indeed good news for many people."

——It's more than good news! ! ! !

The forum is literally going to explode.

——These two actually watched the game together! !

—and so intimate! !

——Rounding up to five is in love! !

——and got into bed! !

—…Wait, girls upstairs, aren’t you rounding up a bit too quickly?

Of course, many people don't know that their rounding is actually a bit less...

The commentary continued: "We also saw that the French striker Cisse, who missed the World Cup due to a fracture in the warm-up match, also came to the scene to cheer for France! The starting lineup has been released, let us see what changes the two teams will make Bar!"

"Spain adopted their most familiar 4-3-3 formation, Casillas; Sergio Ramos, Puyol, Pablo Ibáñez, Peña; Fabregas , Xavi, Xabi Alonso; Raul, Torres, Villa."

— Pablo Ibáñez was very bitter.

He was in the main substitute position in Deportivo, and he never expected that he would be able to occupy a place in the starting list of Spain's first team.

what does this mean?

This means that Spain is really short of players in this regard! ! !

Compared with Spain, which is too young to be ridiculous, France is full of old faces.

"France are using a 4-2-3-1 formation and they have - Butters; Sagnol, Thuram, Gallas, Abidal; Vieira, Makelele ; Ribery, Zidane, Malouda; Henry. Compared with Spain, the French team is obviously more famous, and compared to France today, Spain is obviously better in every aspect comparatively insignificant.”

The commentary is very objective, but this does not mean that some people like to listen to it. Just a few words made many Spanish fans start to curse.

But the commentary quickly changed the subject and continued: "At the same time, I also have a lot of questions, such as why Aragones is not a player in the Deportivo department? Is it just because of their big collapse in the second half of the season? But don't Forget that in the first half of the season, Deportivo was the only team that could go head-to-head with the cosmic team Barcelona!"

"The camera turns and we can see Juan Valeron, David Silva, Javier Portillo on the bench... Deportivo's Spanish players are almost all selected, How unfair is it that only Pablo Ibáñez, who is on the bench, can start and the rest sit on the bench?!"

"Spain did not bring Guti, and did not put these outstanding old men on the court. Does Aragones want to rely on such a group of newcomers to do something to intercept the French rooster? To be honest, I think it is a bit wrong Reliable..."

The director was gesturing at him desperately, and immediately added after watching the live broadcast: "However, we can see that none of these players seem to be affected by their moods, and they are still talking and laughing happily. Good news...at least the players are more confident, aren't they?"

Obviously, when he said this, even the commentator himself felt a little unreliable, but he quickly added: "Go to Spain!!"

——Actually, the director's gesture just now was telling him that if he didn't say anything good about Spain, they might be flooded with complaint calls!

Juan squinted his eyes and looked at the screen: "There are no surprises in the starting lineups of the two teams. Compared with the group stage, the adjustment is not great."

Scolari nodded: "Aragones Fabregas replaced Senna, and Raul replaced Luis Garcia. I can't see what he is going to do. The main focus is the impact of the youth storm, just use Veterans line up?"

"Yes," Juan smiled, "On the French side, after Zidane and Abbydale ended their suspensions, Domenech had the opportunity to use the 4-2-3-1 formation again, but I didn't understand why it was up Henry, not Trezeguet."

Scolari replied: "It's very simple. Although Trezeguet is stronger than Henry in terms of impact, in fact Henry is more comprehensive. He used to be the king of Highbury, and now he is also not to be underestimated in Barcelona. Look, you should have already experienced his power when you were in the league, right?"

Juan pondered for a while: "Understood."

The other players of the poor Portuguese team watched these two people coming and going and saying one after another, but they couldn't keep up. Nani pulled Cristiano's clothes, and the cat lowered his waist and asked in a low voice: "Cristiano, what are they doing?" What did you two say?"

How can Cristiano say that he doesn't know?He glanced back at Nani, and said confidently: "You will know when you become the main force!"

"...Cristiano, don't bully the young rookie." Figo couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped Cristiano's head, the Portuguese teenager covered his head very dissatisfied: "The captain, you understand ?"

"..." Figo was silent for a while and said seriously: "The two of them are analyzing the starting lineups of Spain and France, and the reason for such arrangement."

"Oh!!" The eyes of both Cristiano and Nani changed.

...... Is this something difficult to understand? ? ?

Figo was speechless, he only felt that his fist was about to move.

These two boys must be here to make trouble! !

Soon, Spain's troubles came.

In the 5th minute, Butters drove to the frontcourt with a big foot, Pablo fell from the top, and Henry unloaded the ball in the chest at the front of the penalty area, but Ramos reacted quickly and made a clearance first. In the 9th minute, Thuram knocked down Villa , the Spanish team won a free kick 30 meters in front of the goal!

"Spain's chance!!" The commentator almost jumped up, so excited that someone in Portugal also relaxed their expressions and put on a little smile.

Scolari had already smiled, but he noticed that Juan didn't smile: "What's the matter Juan?"

"..." Juan rubbed his temples, "There is no one in Spain who is good at free kicks."

"what?"

"Juan Belleron is very good at it, and Portillo also has a good free kick technique. This is what they have worked hard in the club... It's just that they are not on the court now." When it comes to this , Juan's eyes are already full of ice.

At this moment, the camera happened to capture Aragones. The old man had a cloudy expression on the edge of the court. For a moment, he seemed to want to look back at the bench, but he held back.

Three people stood in front of the ball.

Xavi, Villa, Penha.

When seeing these three people, Scolari let out a "huh": "The short one is the tall one?"

Juan coughed lightly: "Actually, it's just one of the three half-baked ones."

He knows Spain so well that Spain is simply his second national team.

A whistle, Harvey and Villa at the same time virtual run cover, Peña left foot shot slightly higher than the upper left corner of the goal.

Seeing the high angle of the football, even the Portuguese players sighed subconsciously, not to mention the Spanish fans.

In the 12th minute, France's possession of the ball, Spain's crisis!

Malouda made a short pass from the left. Henry dribbled the ball in and cut in with his right foot. A low shot from 18 meters away from the goal was confiscated by Iker Casillas. It was impossible to stop the ball, but Casillas fished the ball into his arms with a very fast dive.

One minute later, Zidane was misjudged as offside. The French boss was obviously dissatisfied with this. He explained a few words to the referee, but the referee insisted on his penalty. Zidane originally wanted to continue talking, but He was taken away by his teammates.

——The temper of the French midfielder is not very good, and he is not very good at restraint.

In the 16th minute, Zidane made a direct pass from the right rib, Ribery made a low pass from the right, and Ramos made a direct clearance at the back of Spain. Unfortunately, the distance of the football bouncing was not very far, and Zidane who was nearby kept up. A direct shot from the right foot from 12 meters from the goal was blocked by Puyol and Yi Vanez with a flying shovel. The football hit Puyol's leg, making him grin for a while.

One minute later, Zidane made a long pass from the backcourt to instigate a counterattack. Puyol rushed ahead of Henry and passed back to Casillas, but he seemed to have injured his right leg muscle because Zidane had just hit him. That touch was not just a light touch like a joke.

In the 23rd minute, the French team got the best chance since the opening - Zidane made a pass over the top and Henry made a low pass from the right. However, the most regrettable thing is that neither Ribery in the front nor Vieira in the center met. !This goal obviously made many French fans feel sorry.

And soon, they had no time to regret it, but directly grabbed their hearts.

In the 27th minute, Peña took consecutive corner kicks from the left, and Pablo fell to the ground in the chaos of the penalty area.

The situation on the scene was very chaotic, and even the players didn't know what happened, they just looked at each other blankly, and then moved out of the way to let the referee come in.

The referee Rossetti just glanced at the situation on the scene, and decisively blew his whistle—a penalty kick!

The French team was obviously in an uproar, but after the slow-motion playback on the big screen, they had nothing to say.

Pablo Ibanez was indeed kicked in the heel by Thuram behind him and fell down. This is not a misjudgment.

Scolari smiled and said: "Penalty kick! Spain should have a chance now, right?"

Juan's brows and eyes relaxed, and he nodded: "Although free kicks are not good, there are a lot of players in the Spanish team who are good at penalty kicks."

Just talking here, Villa has already stood at the penalty spot, with his hands on his waist and looking ahead.

The whistle sounded, he ran up and then shot hard!

Butters judges the right direction, but it doesn't help!He couldn't stop the football from hitting the net!

"Goooooooal!!! Villa!!! Spain leads France 1-0!!" The commentator roared, obviously excited to the extreme, "Spain's big chance!! They will beat France to achieve a new myth, by the way report 4 The 1/4 finals before? Let's wait and see!!!!"
