It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 122: Charles, We Were Wrong

On August 8, Charles returned to Clairefontaine again to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers.

Five days later, France faced Romania at home.

Domenegue went to the pre-match press conference.

As soon as he walked into the pre-match press conference, the flash cameras in the venue started flashing non-stop.

"There is still some time before the game starts. We have already announced the match roster, so there is no need to ask whether Charles will play."

Domenegue said calmly.

"As for the team's problems, there are no problems. Our team is very harmonious."

"Charle dependency? No, no, no. The success of the team is the result of the efforts of all the players, not just one player. Yes, Charles is outstanding."

"It is true that Henry's injury has not fully healed, but as a professional player, respecting the game is a professional ethics, whether in the national team or the club."

The French people did not have much hope for the national team. L'Equipe even convened a group of the best forwards in the history of the French team to evaluate the team's forward line.

Before the game, Cedric Luquet, a reporter for the French newspaper L'Equipe, wrote an article evaluating the French team: "This is a group of spoiled geniuses, whose performances in clubs and national teams are always different. This is a group of players who are called geniuses, but none of them can be called world-class."

"In 1996, Thuram, Zidane and other talented players quickly grew into world champions after a European Cup defeat, but this French team has only brought us disappointment time and time again."

The other side.

The Romanian head coach also patiently answered reporters' questions.

"We will try our best. No matter what, I ask my team to fight until the last minute."

"Charles is indeed very strong, but as long as the game is not over, everything is possible. We always believe that the ball is round."

……

After changing his clothes, Charles chatted with his teammates in the locker room.

"You say, is it possible that the reason why we can't sleep at night is because the human sleep server is full, and we can only fall asleep after other people wake up and there is a vacancy?"

Benzema asked.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Lori looked at Benzema puzzledly. "If you think less about this kind of problem, maybe you can sleep well."

Benzema waved his hand. "I'm just curious. I slept well last night."

"You slept well because you could still sleep," Gallas said jokingly, "I think some people can't sleep at all. If England weren't still first in the group, I guess..."

Although Gala did not mention the name, everyone in the locker room understood what he meant.

"I heard that Ferguson has advised Rooney to see a psychiatrist. Is that true?" Charles couldn't help but gossip, mainly because the news about Rooney has been getting more and more explosive in recent days.

Patrice Evra, his club teammate, shrugged. "I heard that he was left with a psychological trauma after being rejected by a 50-year-old grandmother. It seems that he is, well, no longer able to do it."

The entire locker room was in an uproar.

Sagna has seen many such reports at Arsenal. "So this is true? I saw in The Sun that the grandmother is planning to publish an autobiography to tell the stories she and Rooney have to tell."

The locker room once again fell into a heated discussion.

Benzema listened and sighed, "I never thought that he had such a strong taste."

"Masseur, full-time call girl, flight attendant, security guard, full-time mother, female teacher, female nurse..." Malouda kept sighing, "The most he earned was 3000 pounds a night, and the least was 20 pounds. He really was..."

Not long after, Domeneg returned to the locker room and once again explained the tactical requirements.

……

"Station, station, you are watching the 2010 South Africa World Cup qualifiers, France in Group G vs Romania."

"The new La Liga season kicked off not long ago, and Charles also started his new journey. This game is very important for the French team. For this reason, Charles even gave up the opportunity to play for Barcelona in the first game of the new season and prepare for the national team."

"Benzema has joined Real Madrid in the new season. When the league starts, the two sides will be enemies again."

“双方国际A级赛事交锋12次，法国6胜3平3负占据优势，两队上次在08年10月份罗马尼亚主场交战时打成2比2。”

"France is currently ranked second in Group G, but they are five points behind Serbia, which has played one more game. So for France, if they want to qualify, they have to win every game."

"If Les Gallicus want to advance directly to the World Cup round of 32, they cannot afford to lose this match."

"From the previous warm-up matches, France's form is not very good, but I believe the players will win the game in front of their hometown fans. After all, Romania has only 6 points in 7 games. The team's strength is no longer the same as before."

"In this game, the French team still lined up in a 4231 formation, with Sagna, Gallas, Escudé and Evra lined up in the back line."

"L. Diarra and Toulalan will form a defensive midfield partnership."

"Bayern's core Ribery did not get a chance to start. Anelka played on the right wing. Henry, who had an Achilles tendon injury before the game, was on the bench. Charles played on the left wing. Gignac, who scored a goal in the Faroe Islands, played as the lone center forward. Benzema sat on the bench."

"Okay, here are the rosters for both teams:"

“法国(4-2-3-1)：1-洛里/2-萨尼亚、5-加拉、4-埃斯库德、13-埃夫拉/6-L·迪亚拉、14-图拉朗/10-夏尔、8-古尔库夫、9-阿内尔卡/11-吉尼亚克。”

“罗马尼亚(4-4-2)：1-科曼/2-马夫泰、3-拉特、6-拉杜伊、5-齐沃/10-马拉、7-吉亚尼、4-阿珀斯托尔、8-尼库/9-马里卡、11-苏尔杜。”

【Charlotte Bar】

"I waited so long. I thought Charles would start in the opening match of the La Liga season, but he and Messi went to participate in the World Cup qualifiers."

"On the 5rd, didn't someone visit the Joan Gamper Sports City? There were only five players in the first team, and the others all went to participate in the World Cup qualifiers."

"This season, Real Madrid actually brought in two Ballon d'Or winners in one go. It's really too extravagant. Barcelona is losing a lot of blood now."

"The broadcasting price of La Liga is going to increase by 30%. I heard that even TV channels can't afford the live broadcasting rights of La Liga." "What happened recently? The Argentine Primera Division was postponed for a week. Could it be that their TV broadcasting rights have not been sold? It can't be that it has been sold at a low price."

"I heard that the Argentine Primera Division is going bankrupt."

"That's not possible. Wouldn't the Argentines want to watch the game even if they have to take out loans? How could they go bankrupt?"

"In 1994, the Argentine Football Association sold the broadcasting rights for $7000 million, and it was sold for 20 years, so it is now out of pocket. In August this year, the Argentine Football Association asked the TV station to increase the transfer fee but was rejected, and then unilaterally terminated the broadcasting agreement."

"This has left 20 clubs without their most important source of income, and 17 clubs that owed $ million are close to bankruptcy."

"So what happens now?"

"Now? The state provides subsidies."

"It's useless. This is just using economic means to manipulate the league. It doesn't really touch upon the core issues of corruption in the league, poor management of clubs, and the undercurrent of stadium violence. This is just a temporary rescue, treating the symptoms but not the root cause."

……

Soon, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

France has the ball.

After the kick-off, after a few passes, the ball quickly reached the French team's defense line.

Surdu was chasing the ball in front of the French team's defense line like a hound, but the French team was not in a hurry and the ball was passed back and forth between the defenders.

Suddenly, when the ball was passed back to Gala's feet again, although Dursu was still following in front of him, he looked up and saw Charles who had quietly moved to the side. Without hesitation, he lightly tapped the ball with his right foot and passed the ball to Charles.

After observing the situation on the field, he found that there was no suitable point to receive the ball in the frontcourt. At the same time, he saw Nico running over. Charles tapped the ball with the tip of his right foot. Just as he ran in front of him, Charles aimed at the ball and made a freehand stroke with the instep of his foot.

Dursu quickly moved to try to intercept the ball, but his move missed, and the ball returned safely to the French defense line.

Romanian players pressed forward one after another, and finally Evra took aim at the ball. Just as Anelka stretched out his foot to stop the ball, Mara rushed out from behind him at great speed.

The defenseless Anelka was knocked over, and at this time Dursu took advantage of the situation, turned around and took the ball away from Anelka.

Anelka stood up and chased back, but by then the ball had already been passed to Guinia's feet.

Perhaps because the "stolen goods" were obtained in good faith, Genia, without any psychological burden, stopped the ball and kicked it with the inside of his right foot.

"call out--"

While everyone was staring at the ball, Lori was not confused. He didn't want to miss the shot, so he had already chosen his position and directly took the ball with a "monkey picking peaches" move.

After observing the situation on the field, Lori took the ball in his hand and threw it to Charles again.

Seeing that his attack was in vain, Marica had no choice but to turn around and fight again.

At this moment, after seeing Charles dribbling the ball, all the Romanian players ran back frantically: no one knew what kind of fatal blow this big devil would deliver after receiving the ball.

Now Gourcuff is surrounded by three players on the field, and Escudé, who comes in from behind, is raising his hand to ask for the ball. At the same time, he is standing in the middle with only one defensive player beside him, which seems to be a good choice.

Nigiak stood in front of the penalty area, with only two defensive players closest to him.

In a split second, when everyone's attention was attracted by Escud, Charles pulled the ball with his right foot and unexpectedly passed it to Evra. Just when the Romanian players were busy running, the ball naturally came to Anelka's feet.

At this time, Charles also quietly sneaked into the night with the wind, lurking in the restricted area of ​​Romania.

After Anelka received the ball, Mafte followed him to prevent him from cutting inside. After a few seconds, his teammate Rath arrived.

Faced with the defense of two people, Anelka did not choose to force an attack. Instead, he gently pushed the ball outwards with the outside of his left foot, then turned around to protect the ball, and then poked the ball towards Evra.

After another wall pass, Rath was attracted by Evra, and with only one person defending, Anelka made a fake move to divert Maftei.

Maftei hurriedly chased after him. In his eyes, just as Anelka was about to rush to the bottom line, he drew his bow and arrow, leaned his body, and hit the ball hard with his right foot.

"boom--"

When Charles, who was lurking in the penalty area, saw the ball and was about to score, Niku, who was following behind Charles, stretched out his arms and hugged Charles.

Domeneg, who had been sitting calmly on the chair, stood up suddenly, looked at Niku with anger, and gnashed his teeth, "How dare he!"

While Nicu was holding Charles with both hands, he also did some small movements with his feet, but what he didn't expect was that the famous "Glass Bubble Man" in La Liga was like a wild bull and he couldn't hold him at all!
Before Niku could lament that the information was wrong, the "Glass Bubble Man" directly evolved into a "Glass Cannon" and rushed forward as if a fuse was lit.

No, brother, are you working so hard?
Just when he was about to let go, Niku's hand slipped and grabbed Charles' clothes.

Charles kept slapping Nick's hands, but Nick at this time was like a drowning man, holding on to Charles' clothes tightly, holding tighter and tighter, and refusing to let go.

"Niku grabbed Charles's clothes, and then Charles dragged Niku forward!"

"It's so brutal! Niku grabbed Charles' clothes tightly and dragged him on the ground like a victim hanging from a car."

"Char volleys!"

"Coman... a little late, the ball goes in!"

The French fans standing on the sidelines waving the tricolor flag all stood up and cheered.

They were not optimistic about the French team's prospects to begin with, let alone the 2010 World Cup. They felt that it was time to prepare for the next World Cup.

The French team has a lot of talented players, but it seems that these players can't play football once they arrive at the national team. They are completely different from their club counterparts. We can't let them wear a club jersey under the national team jersey, right?
However, now seeing Charles trying so hard, regardless of anything, moving forward with a heavy burden, and finally miraculously sending the ball into the Romanian goal, and thinking of L'Equipe's criticism of the French team before the game, the fans of the Gallic roosters are about to cry.

A child who is so sincere, always ardent, always giving everything to the national team, holding a heart in his hands and silently showing it to everyone, but not needing others' praise, what did they do? They actually hurt such a good child before the game.

"Charles, we were wrong!"
