Chapter 49: The Decline of the Rich Family

After experiencing the war between Germany and Portugal and the war between Spain and Italy in this European Cup, what followed was the war between England and France in Group D. However, the war between England and France that everyone was looking forward to made people yawn endlessly. From the first moment of the game, For a minute, both sides seemed content with a draw and gave up the attack.

When humans think, God laughs.

Yesterday, Barcelona made God laugh, and the boring England-France game was beautifully stolen by an uncle. This uncle from France actually fell asleep in the noisy stadium, and he slept well. It smells good, which shows how boring the game is.

When the on-site cameras caught sight of the uncle, the score on the field was 1:1, and this score remained until the end.

The uncle seems to be going to sleep to protest to England and France: You guys are playing so damn boringly.

Seeing this uncle, the fans naturally thought of Balotelli who beat him yesterday. Yesterday, he thought about life in a single shot and was intercepted by Ramos from behind.

Some media joked that Ramos asked him a question before the game, which made him think about the answer, and that question was: What kind of rhythm is the most swinging? What kind of singing is the happiest?

So Balotelli was confused.

This uncle is probably also thinking about life, but there are many things he can think about.

If there were not two more goals, the label of "the most boring game" might have been affixed, and the fans' expectations were greatly reduced. If you want to find the reason, you can find such a key point, Ribery's sluggish state, and the sluggish Bayern winger. It also made France powerless against England, the weakest team in history.

Blanc, the head coach of the French team, said in a pre-match interview: "Ribery is the key to the team's offense and the number one person who determines this battle. We all believe in him and he can definitely do it."

But it is really unfortunate that Ribery's hot state in the club did not last into this crucial battle. The words of his teammates also showed from another angle: This France suffers from a strong dependence on Ribery. disease.

There are two reasons for Scar Man's sluggish performance in this game. First, he believed in himself too much and fell into a circle of enemies. Second, he and Benzema were alone, forgetting the power of the two of them working together.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Ribery made a strong breakthrough on the right, but accidentally slipped and handed the ball to the opponent. France formed an excellent counterattack in the second half, with teammates from both the left and right sprinting forward. , and sent out a passing signal. Ribery dribbled the ball in the middle. Facing the defense, he did not pass the ball, but chose to continue to break through. Although the opponent was fouled, he lost a good opportunity to change the situation of the game.

There is no doubt that Ribery's performance can determine whether Benzema can win the top scorer. However, in this battle, the two had little cooperation, which also caused the Real Madrid forward to leave the field in frustration.

But Ribery's performance in this game is not without merit. Among them, Nasri's world wave comes from Ribery's response. Unfortunately, such comfortable delivery for teammates is very rare. The data shows that , Ribery threatened to pass the ball only three times in this game, and the only time he scored was once. It can be seen that this 1:1 score is a perfect interpretation of Ribery's importance to France.

Ribery's role on the field is irreplaceable. As long as he plays well, the team will have good results. However, negative news such as the scandal outside the field and the strike of training have also confirmed Ribery's character. Weaknesses, to put it bluntly, Ribery is really not suitable as the leader of a team.

But after Zidane, French football can no longer find a player who can compare with Ribery, and France's reliance on Ribery is also increasing day by day.

Furthermore, Ribery's performance will directly determine how far the French team can go?

Perhaps what is important to Blanco at the moment is not getting this crucial point for England, but getting back to Ribery's form as soon as possible, which is the top priority.

Compared with Ribery, Benzema's importance to the French team is slightly different, but it is also related to the final trend of the French team in this European Cup.

In 2008, Benzema also entered the European Cup roster and was one of the six "veterans" of the French team. However, he was only Henry Anelka's substitute. In this competition, it is his turn to take charge, and his responsibilities are naturally different.

France once had the most luxurious ace striker group in Europe. In the 2002 World Cup, coach Le Maire had the golden boots of Henry, Trezeguet and Cisse from the Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1 at the same time, which made his colleagues envious. However, the curse is also Since the beginning of that tournament, the team has failed to achieve anything in the three group matches, becoming the first defending champion to be eliminated in the group stage.

Since then, the difficulty of forwards scoring goals has become a problem that plagues the French team in every major competition. In the 2006 World Cup, Henry was quite satisfactory, and Trezeguet was completely out of form. In the 2008 European Cup, France only scored one goal in the three group matches. Only Henry covered up his shame, but it was still an insignificant goal in the 1:4 loss to the Netherlands. Malouda scored the only goal for the French in the World Cup in South Africa. Henry, Anelka, Gignac and Govou were busy for 270 minutes.

In the two continental competitions after the 2006 World Cup, the French team only scored two goals, and the forwards only scored one goal. This stubborn problem is difficult to cure!

The French forwards are not strong, and the same goes for the English. After this game, I believe Hodgson will be completely disappointed with one person. Milner, who was originally sent as a cavalryman by him, basically handed over a zero in this game. points answer sheet.

Direct pass, one-on-one, passed the goalkeeper, and then shot the ball into the empty goal. A few seconds later, the England fans who stood up and celebrated sat down with their heads in their hands.

After the game, the British media denounced Milner. Poor Milner became the tragic figure of tonight's battle between England and France. This may not be unfair, because he alludes to a fatal risk in this England team and is not worthy of his name.

This scene appeared in the 15th minute of the game. Ashley Young sent a precise direct pass from the frontcourt. Milner stepped in at high speed. After passing the French goalkeeper Lloris who abandoned the goal in the penalty area, he pushed into the empty goal. However, no one expected that Milner would hit the ball into the side net when facing an empty goal.

In fact, if Milner scored this goal early, then today's game would be completely different, at least it would be more exciting, and the fans would not fall asleep watching it.

There is no point in scolding Milner too much. After all, when he completed the shot, the angle was not very wide and his body was out of balance.

Moreover, when it comes to the big showdowns in major competitions, Milner is not the only one to fail to score. In a fierce battle between Italy and Spain, two big names, Balotelli and Torres, failed to score in a single shot.

What's more, Milner was indeed the team's most desperate player today, the one who ran the most among all the players in both teams. As a very "heavy" player in the midfield, he not only stole the ball three times, but also went to He went to the wing and completed many crosses. Speaking of which, his performance was actually quite interesting.
