Chapter 654 A Different World Cup

ps1: This is the recommended update for 15. The next update will be recommended for 15. I hope everyone will support it.

ps2: By the way, I am asking for a recommendation ticket here...

Since Materazzi stimulated Zidane to apply for a red card to end the game, the French team, which was only one goal behind at the time, completely lost hope of equalizing the score or even reversing the promotion. Therefore, the post-match press conference has not yet started. The reporters present could already smell a strong smell of gunpowder.

It’s okay for the old Maldini, after all, Italy has been confirmed to advance to the semi-finals of the World Cup, and the result of the game cannot be changed. Let the French complain at the press conference and complain that he can’t lose a piece of meat, so let Jacquet stay. Let's play a one-man show later.

The eliminated French team naturally cannot be as open-minded as the old Maldini. In the eyes of many French people, this World Cup held in France is the best chance for the Gallic Rooster to reach the top. As the coach of the French national team, Ya Kay naturally felt the same way.Therefore, after the press conference began, Jacquet violently bombarded Materazzi's provocative behavior against Zidane in the game in front of many media reporters, claiming that FIFA should make this despicable Italian pay the due price!

Hearing Jacquet's speech, all the reporters at the scene curled their lips in their hearts without exception-not to mention that France was behind [-]-[-] when Zidane was off the field, even if he was not sent off, it might not be It can bring a victory; just to say that in the second half of the game, most of the brutal collisions between French players and Italian players were not punished as they should be. Are you ashamed to say that the referee favors the Italians?

However, these reporters will certainly not pour cold water on Jacquet at this time. After all, their job is to find news. If you put out the fire of this Frenchman, where do you ask them to find such an eye-catching topic?They even vaguely expected that old Maldini would go berserk because of Jacquet's accusations, and then the two head coaches would have a live-action PK at the press conference...

However, to the disappointment of the reporters present, no matter what Jacquet said, the old Maldini on the other side looked calm and unmoved at all.

With the old Maldini remaining silent, this press conference completely became Jacquet's stage alone.

After the post-match press conference, as Karin expected, France immediately appealed to FIFA, demanding that Materazzi, who had personally attacked Zidane during the game, be suspended.

However, under the hint of Johansson, FIFA quickly rejected the French appeal.But of course they cannot use the reason of "revenging Platini" as a reply to the French side. Instead, they say that there is no direct evidence that Materazzi used racially discriminatory or racist words in the game. The reason for the vocabulary of personal attacks is to refuse to suspend the Italian international.

At the same time, FIFA also found a good case as the basis for their refusal to punish Materazzi. In the recent British-Argentine war, England player David Beckham was also hit by the Argentine midfielder. Go Simeone's harassment, and kicking an opponent after falling to the ground was sent off by Nelson with a red card-no matter what the reason, the talkers and trash talkers will always have an advantage on the pitch than those who do it, at least they are very Rarely will he be ejected for this reason.

Therefore, with this theoretical basis, FIFA naturally has enough confidence to reject the request of the French Football Association.

At the same time, Zidane, the victim of the French Football Association, is caught in another more violent storm at this time.

As the coach of the French team, Jacques praised him, and for this reason he did not hesitate to reject Cantona and Ginola as the first core of the French team outside the gate of the national team. Zidane's performance in this World Cup surprised everyone. Very disappointed.

The French team played a total of five games in this World Cup. Zidane only played three of them due to the suspension, but in just three games, the French midfielder received two red cards !

If it is said that when Zidane received his first red card, there were teammates like Blanc to save him and lead the French team past the Paraguay level in his absence, so that the French no longer care about that card. If there is a red card; then no one can stand up to save him this time, because it was his second red card that caused the French team to lose their last hope of advancing.

Under the instigation of the media who feared the chaos of the world, many French fans began to believe that Zidane, who had a mediocre performance in this World Cup and repeatedly received cards, was the reason for the French team's early exit in the quarter-finals The culprit!

Thus, a storm of public opinion against Zidane and French coach Jacquet began!

Many fans gathered at the headquarters of the French Football Association, shouting slogans of "Jacquet dismissed get out of class" and "Zidane is a sinner" outside the gate of the French Football Association. The scene was quite spectacular.

In addition to the condemnation from the fans and the media, Cantona and Ginola, two stars who have been rejected by Jacquet in the national team, also jumped out at this time. The former Manchester United king who has retired for nearly a year bombarded Jacquet He believed that the French coach was nepotism when selecting the national football team, and did not select the most capable French players into the national team at all.

Although Cantona's words were fierce, he was more condemning Jacquet, but Zidane did not make too many criticisms. In his opinion, this junior who played for Juventus is still very powerful , the only problem is that when provoked by others, it is easy to get hotheaded and make some irreversible actions.

And Ginola's words are much sharper. The French star who played for Tottenham Hotspur was expelled from the national team because of a low-level mistake in the World Cup qualifiers that caused France to miss the World Cup in the United States. So at this time, Ginola will certainly not let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury.

"If we can forgive Zidane for the mistakes he made in the World Cup for some reason this time, why is it that Jacquet refuses to forgive me now and let me play for my country again? Although the performance in my club these years is considered Not at the top, but definitely not worse than someone in the national team who permanently excluded me from the national team just because I made a mistake in the World Cup qualifiers, and now wants to make the same mistake. It's obviously very unfair for the wrong Zidane to make excuses."

For Ginola, who has been lingering outside the gate of the national team since France was blocked from the World Cup finals because of a low-level mistake, this time he finally found an outlet, and the accumulated resentment continued to flow. Being spat out by him put Zidane and Jacquet and other parties under tremendous pressure.

In this way, with the change of the result of a game, the wheel of history began to drive in an unknown direction.
