Chapter 112 Shame

Chapter 112 Shame

After the second round of the group stage, some of the qualifying situations of each group are very clear, while others are still chaotic and confusing. All the answers can only be handed over to the final round for verification.

In the third round of the group stage, Group A was the first to start. Uruguay beat Mexico 1-0 in two simultaneous games. Suarez, who had not yet fully transformed into a zombie, scored the only goal of the game, helping Uruguay to the final three. Two wins and one draw, head held high to qualify.

The two-time World Cup winner Uruguay finally broke into the top 16 of the World Cup again. From the summer of Italy in 1990 to the winter of South Africa in 2010, 20 years have passed in a hurry. Uruguay has already gone through several generations of players. The youngest player in the current team, Nicolas Lodeiro, had just turned one year old at the time, and even the oldest Abreu was only fourteen years old at the time, but the coach Tabarez, after a lapse of 20 years, Once again personally brought Uruguay into the top 16 of the World Cup.

Tabarez is one of the most famous coaches in the history of Uruguay. In 1988, Tabarez took over the Uruguayan national team and led the team to the 1990 World Cup in Italy. Uruguay drew 0:0 in the first game, and then lost 1:3 To Belgium, but in the last round of life-and-death battle, Uruguay encountered the tenacious resistance of Taiji Tiger Korea. After a long period of attack, Tabarez replaced Fonseca, and finally Fonseca completed the lore in the 90th minute. Uruguay finally broke into the round of 16 in third place in the group.

After Tabarez resigned from the coaching position of the Uruguayan national team, Uruguayan football fell into a dark period that lasted 20 years. The Sky Blues, who had won the World Cup twice, only participated in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, and were absent from the United States and France respectively. And Germany three World Cup events.

In 2006, the Uruguayan Football Association finally decided to invite Tabarez back. In the South American qualifiers, Tabarez's offensive and defensive tactics were fully reflected, although he only ranked fifth with 6 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses. In the play-offs, Uruguay defeated Costa Rica and finally successfully advanced to the World Cup finals.

In this World Cup, Uruguay and the host South Africa and another World Cup champion France were in Group A. In the end, Uruguay drew with France in the first game, and beat South Africa 3-0 in the second game. In this game, Uruguay beat Mexico with another goal. Three games Without conceding a goal, they broke into the round of 16 as the top of the group.

In another game that was played at the same time, the French team lost 1:2 to the host South Africa without everyone's attention. They only accumulated one point in three games, and were out of the bottom of the group in a disgraceful way. This result was unimaginable before the game.

When the group draw was announced, although France was not a seeded team, they were all considered to be the strongest team in the group. It was very possible to win the first place in the group, but they could face Uruguay, Mexico and South Africa, which are not world-class teams. Opponents, the Frenchman's performance was jaw-droppingly poor.

The Gallic Rooster is wilting, the reason is obvious, there is a problem with the team's internal relations, the internal strife has seriously consumed the team's combat effectiveness, first of all, the head coach Domenech's prestige is not there, and many players in the team do not trust him, so that A A rare scene of Nelka yelling at him by pointing at his nose.

Secondly, there are gangs among the players. Captain Evra is the core of hard erection. In fact, no one listens to him. Henry and Gallas in the "Old Man" set up separate hills and attracted many players. The relationship between each other Discord.

Such a team that has been seriously dragged down by internal strife is rare in history, and even the famous "king of internal strife" Dutch team has never been so chaotic.

In the history of world-class competitions, it is rare for the French team to cause such a big movement. The 2010 World Cup in South Africa is destined to be recorded in the annals of French football in a shameful way.

1:2!

This is the last battle between the French team and the South African team in this World Cup. With the French team out, it is not just this weak performance. Under the heavy pressure, there is a collapse of the French team. The abusive coach was fired, including captain Evra, big-name Henry and Abidal, Malouda and others were placed on the bench or directly abandoned, and the physical coach announced his resignation after being beaten. If the level of the French team is serious The declining performance can also be said to be a tragedy, so outside the stadium, the Gallic Rooster is like a farce.

In short, the French team who stole the promotion qualification with Henry's handball, rather than being beaten home in disgrace as a "thief", it is better to say that they came to participate in a black "Foolish World Cup" and let the whole world treat Dome Necker and his disciples are watching as a joke reality show.

For France, the strong team ranked No. 9 in the world, such a bizarre and nonsensical exit is unheard of in the 80-year history of the World Cup, and it can be called the most shameful exit!

When Domenech hadn't announced the start of the game before the match against South Africa, the media couldn't wait to get worse: "Now is the time to really test Domenech's meticulous thinking in drafting the 23-man roster, let the world see the wise men What is the depth of the bench."

It made it clear that France, which ridiculed the internal strife, could only win the main force of the trouble and was forced to let a large number of substitutes play. Originally, Anelka's abuse of Domenech was limited to the inside of the locker room, but the media exposure made it to the front page of the newspaper. The Football Association also stepped in and announced that Anelka would be fired.

Subsequently, Anelka's friends Gallas, Henry, Malouda, Abidal and others issued a statement angrily. At the same time, Evra punched the fitness coach. In the end, the French Football Association followed the example of this World Cup The referee's zero-tolerance principle simply carried the "blocking" to the end.

Therefore, the French team that appeared in front of the world in this game has completely changed its appearance, and more than six players have been replaced.

In the end, Abidal and Evra were removed from the defense, Squillage and Clichy were put on the right foot, midfielder Gourcuff was reactivated, Diarra started, Malouda was put on hold, as for the striker , the appearance of Gignac and Cisse surprised people, and what is even more incredible is that Gallas, who was originally in the ranks of the ban, won the starting position in this campaign.

In fact, the real ridiculous thing about this starting lineup is the captain candidate. After Evra was taken off the starting lineup, the outside world has been speculating that Ribery should be a more suitable new captain candidate.

But in the end, the captain's armband was worn on the arm of Bordeaux midfielder Diarra. Diarra has always been a fringe figure in the French national team and has never started in this World Cup.

As the media said, with such a lineup and morale to fight the final battle against South Africa, it is more torture than suffering for the players.

Only Franck Ribery and Cisse had the will to fight in the first half, but South Africa soon overwhelmed the French team with goals. Goalkeeper Frey showed a release he had never seen in Fiorentina, and Diaby was headed in by the opposing center back Kumalo.

As soon as the goal was scored, the French were even more demoralized. The South African team's second goal was as easy as playing table tennis. A simple pass and cut cooperation tore apart the defense on the right. The pass was not well placed. But Diaby sent the ball near the baseline after a clearance error. The South African pair knocked the ball back to the middle. At this time, Frey made another mistake. .

Although Malouda was replaced in the second half, the offense improved and scored a goal, but the situation was gone. The former world champion France ended their World Cup trip in such a shameful way.

The big defeat has now made French fans pin their hopes on the new coach Blanc, but upon careful examination, Blanc's cards are very limited.

With Franck Ribery and other wing breakthrough masters, a big center forward who can convince the crowd is definitely needed. When Henry and Trezeguet enter the end of their careers, this candidate must be difficult to produce.

In terms of midfield organization, Gourcuff has the name of Qizu II, but he can neither restrain the big names nor instigate the team's offense on the field.

On the defensive line, there are no outstanding central defenders in the post-Galas and Abidal era. Even Mex played as a substitute for Burdisso most of the time in Rome last season.

What's more, even if newcomers are discovered, in the French team, which is very particular about seniority, it will be difficult for a while. Otherwise, Real Madrid striker Benzema will not even be able to squeeze in the 23-man roster of the World Cup. The current French team is not only embarrassing Throw it home, and it's rotten to the root.

The French team finally ended their World Cup trip in South Africa in such a way. It was like falling into a deep valley as deep as the Mariana Trench, which can only be jaw-dropping.

Fortunately, Malouda, who has been performing well in this competition, stepped forward. He used a goal to make up for the preciousness and helped the French team wash away the shame of no goals. The goal scored by the Chelsea winger was also the glory of the French team. The superb ground cooperation is the only time in the South African arena.

The French team debuted as the number one favorite in the 2002 World Cup, but in the end they scored no goals and went home after three games. This scene was almost repeated 8 years later. In 2002, France was the defending champion, and in 2010, France also came aggressively. In the end, they were all worrying about scoring a mere goal, which is really the laughing stock of the world.

El Salvador, who has participated in the World Cup in history, is so poor. In the two cups that he participated in, when he was scored 22 goals, he could still score one. It is so difficult for the French team to score a goal. Absolutely underdogs like El Salvador are juxtaposed and said that this year's France is also ashamed.

It seems a bit boring to be short and tall in a disastrous environment, but it must be admitted that Malouda saved the French team and saved the Gallic Roosters from a huge embarrassment.

Judging from this level, Malouda is the first star of the French team this year. In the game against Mexico, the Chelsea winger was the best one. After coming off the bench in this game, he scored France's only goal in this World Cup. , This is the first goal of the French team in this World Cup. Thankfully, the Gallic Rooster had the last pair of underpants left to hide their shame, but they had enough time to return to their homeland and continue their infighting.

As for the second star, regardless of Frey's initial rash attack on the South African team's first goal, he is generally stable and even more aggressive. He can be regarded as the second.

The French have no reason to blame anyone, because their luck is already very good. With a handball assist, they got into the World Cup stage. After the World Cup group draw, the French team, which stumbled into the finals, was also very lucky. , they are in a group with the host South Africa team, the mediocre Mexico team, and the Uruguay team, which finished fifth in South America and qualified for the World Cup through play-offs.

The good luck of the French is still continuing. At this year's UEFA General Assembly, UEFA President Michel Platini announced that his homeland, France, had defeated Italy and Belgium to become the host country of the 2016 European Cup. French President Nicolas Sacco Qi couldn't contain his excitement after hearing the successful bid: "We need the European Cup!"

Whatever the French team, or even the whole of France, needs, Platini can get it. There is no way, who is the current president of UEFA.

In fact, in the UEFA Champions League in recent seasons, Platini has covered the sky with one hand. As we all know, Platini has always had a big prejudice against the Premier League and Serie A teams. Do everything possible to suppress the Premier League and Serie A teams. The Premier League teams and Serie A teams have collectively chased each other in the first round of the knockout round for several consecutive seasons. Such a small probability event of one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand, It was directed several times under Platini's black hands.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off. Under Platini's pressure, none of the Premier League teams that once occupied three places in the Champions League semi-finals last season rarely entered the semi-finals, and only one Fiorentina squeezed in in Serie A.

But the World Cup is not the Champions League, nor is it the European Cup. This is Blatter's territory, not Platini's. Platini can send the French team to the World Cup and put the French team in a relatively easy position. The team can make the referees open their eyes and act mischievously in the Champions League, but what he can't control are the referees in the World Cup.

In this World Cup, after witnessing the poor performance of the French team with one tie, one loss and no goal in the first two games, football star Franz Beckenbauer could no longer sit still. He reprimanded: "The French team is the most disappointing in this World Cup. The team does not have the qualifications to play in South Africa at all, it is simply a mob, for Domenech's French team, there has never been the biggest shame, but there is only a bigger shame every time."

All right!

The French team was ashamed and lost home. After three group games, they went home in disgrace. Although South Africa, the host, was proud of the last game, in the end it was because of the goal difference, so they could only watch Uruguay helplessly. Join hands with the Mexican pair to qualify.

However, the South Africans competed fairly and did not engage in small off-court tricks, which was enough to make South Korea slap their face 10,000 times.
