[Football Fans] Glory

The opponent who entered the knockout round came out soon, and it was the world champion France.

The match between the two teams is still held at the Bruges Stadium in Belgium. For this reason, the Spanish team will continue to live here.

But sleeping on the double bed every day, looking at the decoration and style of the room, the Spanish players feel a little sad in their hearts-what if they have no idea of ​​letting their family come over?

"I found a condom in my nightstand."

Someone said that during the training interval, when the players sat around and chatted.

All the players looked at him silently: We all found out, okay!

"Actually, what else is there in the bathroom?"

Someone touched his chin with a deep expression.

Of course, there are also people who look blank, such as a midfielder who should be full of wisdom, "What?"

His curious question was met with roars of laughter from everyone.

Being ridiculed, he looked at Guti with a puzzled expression on his face, Guti sighed, he is really not a treasure chest of doubts.

"Lubricant, if you still want to ask about lubrication..."

Guti's mouth was covered by Belleron who rushed over and blushed, "Enough is enough, I know!"

Hahaha~~~

Seeing people who are more unlucky than themselves, other people laugh even more gloatingly.

In fact, it's not like I haven't lived in this kind of double room with a double bed when I played in the national team before, but why is it so awkward this time?

The distressed Hierro hasn't even shaved his beard recently, and looks very old.

By the way, the number of Spanish players who haven't shaved has suddenly increased recently, and even the hair on Raul's face, who is still young and tender, has appeared.

Guti is the only clean and fair person in the team.

Guti, who keeps his personal style and does not intend to synchronize with others, is particularly eye-catching.

Looking at Raul who 'betrayed' him, Guti felt very resentful, and in the end he only got Raul's promise to invite him to a big meal.

Then soon, it was the day of the quarter-elimination round.

After the meeting, the players walked out, and Camacho couldn't help asking the assistant coach how the players were feeling.

Camacho knows that he is not the kind of person who is good at mobilizing players' emotions, so these tasks are usually done by assistants and captains.

"Very good, everyone's mentality is still relatively relaxed."

The teaching assistant answered.

His answer made Camacho slightly stunned. Facing the world champion French team, although the French team's performance in the group stage was unstable, they are currently number one in football. For nothing.

Speaking of this, the teaching assistant burst out laughing, "This time we chose a good place to live, so everyone's attention has been diverted."

"??"

Camacho was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him inexplicably.

His reaction stunned the teaching assistant, "You don't know?"

"what do you know?"

Uh, by the way, the coach lives in a single room, so he probably didn't feel the players' complaints.

Forget it, Camacho's personality is too strict, and it will be troublesome if he really takes everyone's jokes as a matter of fact.

Thinking of this, the teaching assistant quickly changed the topic, "Yerro took the lead in growing a beard, which attracted everyone to imitate it. Everyone believes that it will bring good luck..."

Hearing the assistant coach's explanation, Camacho nodded. Anyway, the captain is responsible for these matters in the team, and he will not interfere indiscriminately.

As long as there are no problems.

At the moment, in the waiting room where things are being packed and preparations are being made, some players are listening to music while others are sleeping, or calling family and friends. The atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

Guti, who had already prepared everything, was playing games with a handheld computer in boredom, which attracted the interest of several young players, who gathered around to watch the fun.

Seeing the excitement over there, Hierro stroked the beard on his face. He was not used to having a beard for a long time.

"Not used to it?"

Enrique on the side asked with a smile.

Hierro sighed, "That kid José has been saying that growing a beard is ugly, and everyone has been afraid to grow a beard in recent years. It feels really weird to keep such a beard all of a sudden."

"Just wait until the game is over, so that everyone can turn their attention to being accompanied by luck, which is better than being nervous and overwhelmed."

Although there are many doubts about the French team's victory in the World Cup, the strength of the French team is there after all. As the second-tier European team, it is really not easy for the Spanish team to beat the French team in terms of overall strength. The nervousness towards the strong has almost affected the atmosphere in the team. When Guti proposed the method of making sideways moves with the sword, it immediately shifted the focus of everyone's attention, and then brought up the French team. Everyone's nervousness Instead it disappeared.

The pre-match process remains the same. When the whistle blows, all the thoughts are devoted to the game.

Goalkeeper: No. 16 Buttes

Defenders: No. 15 Thuram, No. 5 Blanc, No. 8 Desailly, No. 3 Lizarazu

This is the strongest lineup that Camacho can currently line up. After the pre-match inspection, Hierro's thigh strain has not recovered, and Kiko has a bit of a cold-he actually has a cold. Prince Atletico Madrid was quarantined for fear that he would infect others.

Judging from the analysis data of the two teams before the game, the French team has remained unbeaten in 19 games against the Spanish team in the past 8 years. If the French team wins this game, it will be 4 to 6, while Spain will be 4 to 9. The odds are quite different.

However, in the eyes of professionals, this campaign was the closest match between the two sides in the four knockout matches. Spanish team captain Hierro was unable to play due to a leg injury, and Alan Sabal replaced Sergi, who was more capable of assisting. Served as left back.

France coach Le Maire deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation, with only Henry in front, supported by Zidane, Dugarry and Djorkaeff, as Pettit's knee injury is still not healed. , the double midfielder is Vieira and Captain Deschamps, who played for the country for the 99th time.

However, there was a remarkable incident before the game. A Spanish man wearing a T-shirt with "Basque Independence" rushed into the stadium at the beginning of the game. Fortunately, the security at the scene responded in time. His running was stopped, which made the Spanish team players on the scene a little embarrassed, especially the Basque players in the team, but fortunately, the game started immediately, and the fierce game attracted everyone's attention.

At the beginning, the fight between the two sides was very fierce, and the transition of offense and defense was dazzling.

Just 2 minutes into the game, the French team got a chance. Zidane took a free kick from the right, but Vieira headed it high.

In the 10th minute, Henry's long-range shot still missed after passing 3 people in a row.

In the 16th minute, Deschamps made a pass from the right, and Dugarry headed high.

Facing the strong offensive power of the French team, the midfielders of the Spanish team began to strengthen their cooperation. They passed the football with each other quickly and deftly, and constantly tried to tear apart the strongest back of the French team with ingenious passing. line of defense.

In the 18th minute, Guardiola of the Spanish team took a free kick from a small angle on the left side and was saved by Barthez from the bottom line.

In the 21st minute, after receiving a direct pass from Elguera, Raul lobbed without pausing. The French goalkeeper Barthez stood 8 meters in front of the goal, but he still reacted quite quickly to hold the ball out.

In the 28th minute, Guti received a pass from Guardiola, broke through Thuram from the left, cut into the penalty area and hit the goal, but it missed the near post.

In the 29th minute, Dugari stuffed the ball into the space near the penalty spot from the left, but Zidane was able to adjust the angle and missed the opportunity.

In the 32nd minute, Spanish defender Alan Sabal brought down Djorkaeff at the front of the penalty area. Zidane took a free kick 20 meters away from the goal and scored Canizares' upper right corner.

The French team leads 1-0.

In the 38th minute, Guti annoyed his opponent after passing Thuram several times. In the end, he was directly brought down by Thuram in the penalty area, and Spain got a penalty kick.

Guti, who doesn't like penalty kicks, gave up this chance to score, and the Spanish team took a penalty kick from Mendieta.

1 to 1 draw.

In the 44th minute, the French midfielder Vieira distributed the ball to the right at the front of the penalty area. It was too late for Alan Sabal to make up for it. Djorkaf arrived in time and volleyed vigorously from 10 meters away. The ball was close to the post and entered the net. , This is his 66th goal in 26 games for the French team.

However, after Djorkaf scored a goal, he raised his head, raised his chest, clenched his fists and clenched his opponent's celebratory gesture, which annoyed the opponents on the field, and also made the referee warn Djorkaf.

After the start of the second half, the Spanish team stepped up their offensive, but their attack was suppressed by the explosive midfield force of the French team. Although the Spaniard tried hard to get the situation back, they had few opportunities to break through the midfield .

With the support of a strong midfield force, the French team waited for an opportunity to fight back. In order to block the attack of the French team, the Spaniard got several yellow cards for consecutive fouls. Enrique was almost sent off with a red card. Fortunately, the referee was lenient and only gave 1 yellow card.

In the 72nd minute, Guardiola shot from outside the penalty area and the ball hit Dugarry's shoulder and crossed the crossbar.

Seeing that the French team suppressed the Spaniard, the fans kept shouting Anelka's name, so Le Maire obeyed the public opinion and replaced Henry with Anelka.

In the 90th minute, the captain of the Spanish team, Abelardo, was brought down by Barthez on the left side of the penalty area. The Italian referee Colina awarded the Spanish team a penalty.

Guti suddenly remembered that he remembered the penalty this time. Raul missed the penalty and was scolded by domestic newspapers with the headline "hero ruined our victory", but Raul went to take the penalty. The reason for the penalty is that the team's penalty shooter Mendieta has been replaced.

But Mendieta was not replaced in today's game, so - Guti walked over and hugged Raul, as long as you don't take this penalty, you won't tell your friends in private that you hate penalties and don't want to take them anymore Like a penalty kick or something!

Just from this aspect, Raul's psychological ability to withstand stress is a little weaker.

Because of this missed penalty, Spain was eliminated by the French team, but today...

Seeing the penalty shooter Mendieta standing on the penalty spot, waiting for the referee's whistle, Guti smiled slightly.

Mendieta's penalty kick went into the net, and the Spanish fans cheered. Guti looked sideways at Raul and saw his excited expression. You can have a happy 23rd birthday this time!

No, they haven't won the game yet!

Guti laughed.

"what happened?"

Raul turned to look at him.

"I don't want to play overtime."

Guti laughed softly.

In the sunshine, Raul felt that his friend's smile seemed to condense all the light at this moment, and a word flowed in his heart, overflowing with light.

"I'm going to give you the best birthday present ever."

Ready to kick off, Guti smiled and ran to stand near the midfield.

The opponent kicked off the ball, but Guti rushed over like a cheetah the moment the opponent passed the ball, grabbed the French team's ball at his feet with a hook, and then he ran with the ball.

The French players were shocked and chased after him.

The defensive players in the penalty area of ​​the French team also surrounded them one after another.

Guti protects the ball, the ball is jumping on his feet, his back is against the opponent, he picks the ball and turns around to volley. The series of movements are so smooth and beautiful that people can't take their eyes off them.

The sound of the football hitting the side net and falling into the goal is so beautiful.

Guti stretched out his arms, facing Raul who rushed over, showing a bright smile.

"Brother, happy birthday!"

small theater:

Hearing that Kiko had a cold, all the teammates watched from a distance.

Kiko: ...It's just a little bit of a cold, don't bother you guys!

Everyone: Stop, don't come over!

Basic: ("▔▔▔)/

Kiko: Jose, testify for me~~~

Guti: ...I didn't do it!
