It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 82 Chapter 81 Charles's Leadership Temperament

Time passes quickly like running water.

April 1st soon arrived.

The French team boarded the bus to the stadium, and the route was packed with onlookers.

Although these fans say they don't support you, they are always the cutest group of people.

Many of them had vertical "blue, white and red camouflage" painted on their faces and waved flags of the same colors.

"Ciel!"

"Henry!"

"Benzema! Charles!!"

The shouts outside the window came one after another, playing the most moving music.

Now the French team is only two points away from the second place Lithuania. As long as they can get all three points in this game, the prospect of qualifying will be more optimistic.

The vehicles moved slowly on the road, and it took nearly half an hour for the bus to arrive at the stadium.

As soon as the whole team arrived and sat down in the locker room, Domenegge walked to the center of the locker room with a serious expression.

The gray-haired old coach calmly glanced at everyone in the locker room. In an instant, the originally noisy locker room became silent.

"In early March, France Football conducted a survey. I don't know how many of you have seen the report, or if you have, how many of you remember the results."

"But I remember it very clearly. Very clearly."

"Among more than 47 respondents, only 2010% believed that we could reach the World Cup final."

Domenegue held out his hand. "47%, less than half."

"At the same time, 35% of people think that we will not even qualify and will fail in the qualifiers."

"One third of the people, including fans from our country, thought we would not make it out of the group."

"I don't know what you are thinking now, but I hope we only have one thought now—"

Domenegue's voice became more excited, and he glanced at Charles calmly.

Charles understood and stood up. "Today is not the last stage of the World Cup qualifiers. Today is not the life-or-death moment for qualifying for the World Cup qualifiers. Today's opponent is not the toughest bone to chew."

"But, just because the decisive moment has not yet arrived and the charge horn has not yet been sounded, can we be complacent?"

"The coach said that not many people were optimistic about us."

"The coach said not many people believed in us."

“The coach said there weren’t many people supporting us.”

Charles walked step by step to the center and stood next to Domenegue.

His voice was still calm and his speech was not fast.

He didn't raise his arms or shout, he didn't glare, he just stood in the middle of the locker room.

"I believe that everyone has experienced this kind of scene since they started playing football and now join the national team—"

"When we were training on the training ground, there was nobody on the sidelines."

"But when we were on the field, the audience on the sidelines either cheered and applauded, or gave us the middle finger and booed."

"And all we need to do is to conquer them over and over again!"

"If they don't think highly of us, don't trust us, and don't support us, then we will use our strength to conquer them, conquer them, and conquer them!"

After Ciel finished speaking, he waved his hands, and the other teammates in the locker room were all infected and stood up. Screaming -

"Conquer them!"

"Conquer them!!"

"Conquer them!!!"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the locker room was set just right and the players were full of enthusiasm that was missing in the previous game, and the effect was unexpectedly good, Domenegue nodded with satisfaction.

Ciel also returned to his seat and began to change his equipment.

Domenegue also attended the pre-match press conference.

Charles took his time putting on his socks and sneakers and adjusting his shin guards, but the burning gazes focused on him still did not dissipate.

Henry felt that Charles' shin guards were almost adjusted, so he pulled Charles up from the stool and said, "Come on, let's warm up."

Just like that, surrounded by a crowd of people, Charles walked towards the court.

Looking at the high spirits of his teammates, Charles just felt a headache.

I was worried that my business skills would not be good enough and I would not be able to express myself well, which would lead to my failure halfway through. I did not expect that I would overdo it and end up failing halfway through.

"Station, station, you are watching the sixth round of the 2010 World Cup European qualifiers in South Africa, Group , France vs. Lithuania at home."

"France has faced Lithuania three times in history and won all three times."

"In 2007, the two teams met twice, with France winning 1-0 away and 2-0 at home."

"In this World Cup qualifier, France won 2-0 away from home last weekend."

"As long as France can win three points in this game, their prospects of qualifying will be more optimistic."

"Although more than half of French fans had expressed little confidence in the national team's prospects of qualifying, the opportunity is now back in the hands of the French themselves."

"Although the French team is very strong, it is also facing a personnel crisis."

"In this game, Arsenal's Diarra was injured, which was a big blow to the French team."

"At the same time, Toulalan is suspended for this game, which means that the French team only has two defensive midfielders to choose from in their double defensive midfielder formation."

"After returning to France, Domenegue urgently called Mavuba into the team as a substitute for Alau Diarra."

"Moreover, the French team's midfield and backcourt, from goalkeeper Mandanda to defender Gallas and midfielder Las Diarra, all suffered minor injuries after the game last weekend."

"Although all three of them can play in this game."

"But this is like a time bomb. You never know when something unexpected will happen to the French team's defense."

"The good news is that although Gourcuff's form has obviously declined in the second half of the season, he is no longer magical, but Domenegue has found his most suitable successor - Charles."

"Moreover, we can even say that Charles is a hero born young, and the disciple is better than the master."

"His style of play is very suitable for being the core of the team."

"On the Lithuanian side, after losing to France in the last game, their starting lineup for this game changed a lot."

"Here are the lineups for both teams:"

“法国队出场阵容（4-5-1）：1-曼丹达/2-萨尼亚、5-加拉、17-斯奎拉齐、13-埃弗拉/6-拉斯·迪亚拉、18-阿劳·迪亚拉、7-里贝里、10-夏尔、15-卢因杜拉/12-亨利。”

“立陶宛出场阵容（4-5-1）：1-卡塞马斯卡斯/15-克利马维丘斯、4-阿伦德里斯、5-斯科尔拉、6-扎里乌卡斯/13-米科利奥纳斯、2-森贝拉斯、11-皮利巴蒂斯、6-扎里乌卡斯、10-卡隆纳斯/9-达尼莱维休斯。”
