It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 127 Chapter 125 The Background of Failure

"Here are the match rosters for both teams:"

“塞尔维亚(4-5-1)：1-斯托伊科维奇/6-伊万诺维奇、5-维迪奇、16-奥布拉多维奇、13-卢科维奇/17-克拉什尼奇、11-米利加斯、10-斯坦科维奇、4-卡卡尔、14-约瓦诺维奇/15-日基奇。”

“法国(4-2-3-1)：1-洛里/2-萨尼亚、5-加拉、3-阿比达尔、13-埃埃弗拉/6-L-迪亚拉、14-图拉朗/9-阿内尔卡、8-古尔库夫、10-夏尔/11-吉尼亚克。”

When seeing Zigic, Charles couldn't help but sigh that football is such an inclusive sport, because he is taller than Lori, who is a goalkeeper.

Although Zigic is ridiculously tall, his footwork is not rough at all, and his headers are very terrifying. He can be said to be the epitome of aerial dominance.

From the 1.56-meter-tall Scottish athlete Jimmy Johnstone to the current 2.03-meter-tall Zigic, in the world of football, height never seems to be a limiting factor.

Even in the special position of goalkeeper, the height limit is not particularly strict.

Stankovic did not stare at Zigic curiously like everyone else, as if he was staring at a giraffe in a zoo, but stood there calmly.

His life is full of legends.

He is a child of destiny, born into a football family. He joined the domestic powerhouse Red Star Belgrade when he was a teenager, was promoted to the first team and became a starter at the age of seventeen, and became the captain at the age of twenty.

Everyone is swept forward by the tide of the times.

Later, there was civil unrest in his country and he was banned from participating in European competitions. It was not until the ban was lifted that Stankovic had the opportunity to play in the European Cup Champions League in the 1996-97 season.

In 1998, Stankovic was selected for the Yugoslavia national team to compete in that World Cup.

Unexpectedly, this would become the last swan song of Yugoslav football.

Because the former Yugoslavia national team had European bodies and more Brazilian technology than Brazil, in its heyday in the 90s, it swept the world football scene and crushed everything in its path. However, after the peak, the story... came to an abrupt end.

After the World Cup, Stankovic joined Serie A club Lazio for a transfer fee of £7.5 million.

He won the championship and also got the news that Lazio's parent company declared bankruptcy.

In 2004, Stankovic moved to Inter Milan.

The 2006 Calciopoli scandal knocked out Juventus and AC Milan, which had always been superior to Inter Milan in terms of performance. The Nerazzurri took the opportunity to rise and won four consecutive Serie A titles since 06.

……

Soon, with the referee's whistle, Zigic pushed the ball to Kakar.

Just as the formations of both sides were disbanding, Kakar, who received the ball, hit the ball pushed by Zigic hard. Without any preparation, the ball flew directly to the right rear of the French team.

Just when the aerial master Zigic was about to get close to the ball, fortunately the ball was obedient and sensible and rolled out of bounds on its own.

France throws in the ball.

When the French defense received the ball, other Serbian players rushed forward fiercely.

Sagna pushed Jovanovic away and passed the ball safely to Anelka, but Serbia's stranglehold continued. When Lukovic saw the ball at Anelka's feet, he rushed over like a tank.

Charles couldn't help but frown when he saw this. Now the French team was forced to increase the speed of the ball, and once it was fast, it would be easy to make mistakes and then take the initiative to move closer to the middle.

Anelka quickly transferred the ball again. After receiving the ball, Diarra wanted to pass it to Charles so that he could handle and think about the attack. However, as soon as he received the ball, three Serbian players appeared in front of him.

Under such high-intensity full-court pressure and sniping, Diarra did not choose to take risks, but passed the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Zigic was like a tireless robot. As soon as Lori received the ball, he ran 30 meters in front of Lori. When Lori passed the ball to Gallas, he turned around without slowing down and went straight to Gallas.

Gallas turned around to protect the ball, and after seeing that the pressing was ineffective, Zigic had to stop, and at this time the pace on the field finally slowed down a little.

At this time, the ball was finally able to move normally. Gourcuff lightly picked the ball and passed it to Charles' feet.

Charles easily stopped the ball with his left foot. At the same time, Evra moved forward without hesitation. He believed that as long as Charles got the ball, he would definitely send him to the most suitable place, and he just had to run forward.

At this time, Krasnic and Miligas stood in front of Charles, Gourcuff and Anelka were both standing at the top of the penalty area, Gignac was also nearby, and all around them were Serbian players;

Evra was not far to his left, and the remaining three teammates were to his right, with only one Zigic beside them.

So, who is the best passing option?
It is Abidal who is closest to the center and has the widest vision.

But just as Charles was about to put his choice into practice, Krashnich rushed up in one step, and with his hands like tweezers, he directly clamped him, while his right foot did not forget to step on Charles' heel.

"This defensive move was a bit too much. Ciel's shoes were stepped on and fell off."

"Klasniqi happened to face off against Charles today. He had to protect Miligas behind him and help defend Charles. But it's difficult for you to help defend Charles normally. His success rate of dribbling past opponents is too terrifying. In addition, with his passing ability, even if you can stop him, you may not be able to stop his pass. There is no other way, you can only use big moves."

France free kick.

Gignac put his hands on his hips, while Charles half-knelt on the ground and tied the shoelaces with the shoe that had been stepped on.

Domenegue, who was standing on the sidelines, had a gloomy face, as if he had failed to ignite the fire last night.

He was originally feeling complacent because of his strong comprehension and the fact that he only needed two days to cast magic and succeeded, but at this moment, his mentality changed completely.

Just now, although his protective magic worked, Charles still had one of his shoes stepped on!

It seems that his magic circle must be further strengthened.

Guardiola is already eager to prepare an underwater shotgun, he can't fall behind.

If Guardiola accidentally shoots Charles one day, he can use his magic circle to protect him.

Also, the ignorant Gignac just stood there and watched Charles tie his shoelaces as if it had nothing to do with him.

If it was Benzema, he would definitely kick the ball over to Charles for him to step on.

Charles tied his shoes and stood up. Gignac covered his mouth and looked at Charles, "You or me?"

Charles observed for a while, and also covered his mouth and said to Gignac, "I'll open it. I'll pass the ball to you later, and you can dribble and shoot from the wing. They have Zigic on their team, and if we cross the ball, he will basically clear it directly."

"Okay." Gignac nodded and walked forward.

"Beep——"

Hearing the referee's whistle, Gignac rushed forward without hesitation. At this time, the Serbian players were still looking at Charles. In just a millisecond, Gignac stabbed deeply into the Serbian penalty area like a pair of scissors.

At the same time, Charles kicked the ball with his left foot.

"Snapped--"

Stojkovic suddenly felt something was wrong, and the other players rushed forward like a stream.

The ball kicked by Charles was kicked just in time, and Ivanovic went straight to Gignac. Just when the two were about to collide, Gignac did not stop the ball, but stretched out his foot to meet the ball.

The ball drew a short arc in the air, and Gourcuff subconsciously jumped to compete for the header, but Stojkovic was one step faster than him. There was no need to send out Zigic. He easily cleared the clouds and saw the moon in the chaos and took the ball.

Stojkovic threw the ball to Lukovic, who didn't stay there long, but gave it to Yovanovic again with a gentle push.

Jovanovic ran with the ball on the wing, and the French defense line retreated in unison. Anelka followed closely behind him, constantly pressing him. Charles was not idle either, moving towards the middle again.

Jovanovic didn't think he could get rid of other players as easily as Charles, and when he saw Zigic, he pushed the ball directly through the gap in the French defense.

As soon as Zigic saw the ball, he rushed out, but other French players were sprinting with him.

Gallas is not a player known for his speed, but he is definitely faster than Zigic. In the blink of an eye, Gallas was the first to grab the ball and at the same time trapped Zigic behind him.

While fighting for the ball, the two quickly rushed to the baseline. Zigic also broke through to Gala and wanted to snatch the ball again, but Gala's heel hit the ball and Zigic missed it. At the same time, his center of balance was unstable and he fell directly.

Gallas didn't stop to help him, but turned around and passed the ball to Sagna.

Yovanovich did not give up and rushed towards Sagna again, but Sagna, perhaps distracted or for some other reason, stretched out his foot to stop the ball but missed, and the ball rolled out from under his feet.

Serbia throw-in.

Yovanovich took the ball, wiped it, threw it gently to Zigic's feet, and then entered the court.

The moment he entered the field, facing Sagna's eager eyes, Zigic knocked the ball back to Jovanovic again. Anelka wanted to press, but Jovanovic would not be scared and knocked the ball back again.

Anelka quickly faced Kakar, made some adjustments, and Kakar immediately launched another short pass.

After receiving the ball, Zigic passed it to Yovanovich without any surprise.

Sometimes, danger lurks in the ordinary.

Jovanovic passed the ball casually, and Serbia's legendary No. 10, Stankovic rushed out from behind at a speed that was not in line with his age.

He is a veteran and has had experience in many shooting games.

He killed millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sword on his waist was especially bloody.

Swing your arms, that's the time.

"call out--"

The ball hit the far post, but Lori missed it and the ball bounced into the net.

"Serbia broke the deadlock in the 11th minute. Veteran Stankovic scored Serbia's first goal in one fell swoop!"

"Now Serbia 1:0 France."

"The French team's forward line is really gorgeous now, with Gignac, Charles, Anelka... Just from the names, the French team's offensive line is definitely strong enough. But judging from the last game, this may not be the best choice."

"In the last game, we found that this kind of partnership caused Charles, who performed well, to lose his position on the left and find no space in the crowded middle. Although Charles scored twice in the last game, his personal ability is not a cover to cover up the flaws of this arrangement."

"Domenegge must now strike a balance in the team and give Charles more space, or rather, release Charles."

Stankovic excitedly hugged the Serbian players, and the Serbian people in the stands cheered Stankovic's name wildly in joy.

On the other side of the stands, the French fans who came with the team stared at the other team celebrating with wide eyes.

No, didn’t Le Parisien say that Domenegue had selected the players according to their zodiac signs? Then how come in today’s game, it was the Serbian who scored the first goal?
In the previous national team matches, didn’t the French team win consecutively? Why did they fail when they met the first place?
In friendly matches, Maradona's team always beat Argentina, so why can't they beat this one?

As a traditional football powerhouse, they cannot accept that France cannot play in the World Cup. Compared to the risky challenge of playing in the play-offs, where they may not even be able to play in the play-offs because one group cannot play in the play-offs, they would rather qualify directly as the first place.

Almost all the fans who followed the team turned their attention to the number 10 who stood out from the crowd on the field.

Since Charles joined the national team, they have not lost a game.

In today's game, Charles will definitely lead the team to victory again!
Henry and Benzema were next to each other, without any sense of nervousness about falling behind.

As a striker, while the defenders were studying the playing habits of opposing strikers and midfielders, Henry would naturally study the movements of the defensive players.

He will make the next choice based on the defender's actions, or even predict the defender's choice and then break through them.

He always thought that this was what all players did when they chose to break through, until he met Charles.

During the team training, he found that Charles' breakthrough ability was really outrageous.

And he doesn't observe the defensive player before making the next step, but only relies on his current feelings.

With this self-centered and focused kingly style, almost all defenders would be lost in Charles's arbitrary pace.

True strength is not how many times you can win, but how many times you can lose.

The French team now has the ability to afford to lose.

Henry thought proudly.

Manchester United lost to Copenhagen. Does this mean they can’t even play in the Europa League?

I wonder if Teng Sheng can be considered an eight-character coach?
