The injury of Tang Jue gradually came to light with the French team's training because the media did not see him appear on the training ground. The Portuguese media began to satirize the French team: it was released that Tang was going to participate in the semi-finals, and the French team's approach was a failure to be strong.

They were even more sarcastic about Tang Jue, believing that he would not help the French team in this way, and would only make the French team bear the reputation of "villain!". Domeneck defended: "Tang is only eighteen years old, and his mood is understandable. No one is willing to leave the World Cup. You can't care too much about his words."

Domeneck's words seemed to imply that Tang Jue would not appear in the semi-finals. In fact, Tang Jue did not appear in the training ground, which clearly stated that he would miss the game with Portugal.

The French media were extremely happy at the beginning, and now they have to face up to the fact that Tang Jue was absent in the semi-finals. The French media believed that after the French team entered the knockout stage, their condition began to recover, and even if Tang Jue was absent, it would not have much impact. Especially in the Brazilian game, many veterans were rejuvenated in the game. With the performance of the veteran, France could still defeat Portugal and enter the finals.

The team newspaper reporter was very happy when he interviewed Tang Jue at the airport. Now he began to calmly write an article saying: "It doesn't matter whether Tang will appear on the court. Because according to the current state of the French team, he can defeat Portugal without him."

"The reason why the media and French fans hope that he will appear in the semi-finals is because French fans and media are used to seeing him speeding, breaking through and shooting on the field. Every touch of his ball will bring hope to France. Since Don joined the French team, the situation of "powerless forward" has completely changed.

In the past, when forwards needed to score, they were wasting Zidane's wonderful passes. The appearance of Tang changed this situation. And many times he could create opportunities by himself to help the team score. He is Zidane's most trustworthy teammate and partner on the field.

French media and fans hope that he will appear on the court because he helped the French team to survive the crisis many times. People have become accustomed to him on the court, even if he gets nothing on the court. Of course, until today, as long as it is a formal game, he has never disappointed people. Even when he is in a downturn, he will seize the opportunity to score and help the team win.

Yesterday at the airport, Don told the secret of his scoring. He would enter his own world before shooting. There was no sound or color in that world, and it was a completely undisturbed personal world. I don’t know if other players were the same before shooting, at least Ronaldinho did not have such a personal world.

After Vieira's match against Brazil, he once said in an interview with a media outlet that when Ronaldinho shot alone, he shouted "cowards". Everyone knows what happened next.

People are used to Don on the court because he will bring hope to the fans. This habit leads to French fans hoping that the doctor's diagnosis is wrong. Now we should face up to the French team without Don. We should believe other players who have proved themselves in the knockout stage."

The comments from the team newspaper calmed down the French fans, and they began to face the French team without Tang Jue. After careful thinking, they found that the team was really possible to defeat the Portuguese team, because in terms of state and competition experience, the French team had an advantage.

When the outside world was bustling, Tang Jue was living in a hotel in Munich. In order to achieve the effect he wanted, he did not live with his teammates, but chose to live with Alice. There was no kitchen in the hotel guest room, so Alice borrowed the hotel kitchen and made delicious food for Tang Jue in different ways.

On the morning of July 4th, something that surprised Tang Jue and Alice happened. Tang Yuantian and his wife appeared at the door of their room, and Tang Jue immediately welcomed the two into the room. Chen Xiu'e looked at her son who was neither sitting in a wheelchair nor a crutch.

Yesterday on TV, I saw my son sitting in a wheelchair for an interview, but now I am like a person who is fine. Chen Xiu'e is about to check her son's right foot. Tang Jue picked up his trouser legs, took off his socks, and told his mother that he had no problems now and could play at any time.

Chen Xiu'e looked at Tang Jue's normal ankle joint, but she was still confused. Tang Yuantian held the teacup handed by Alice, sat on the chair and breathed a long breath, relaxed her heart, and asked seriously: "Since the injury has been cured, why not participate in training?"

Before Tang Jue could speak, Chen Xiu'e immediately put aside her doubts and stood in front of Tang Jue like she was protecting her treasure and said, "Isn't this just right? Of course, you have to rest for a few more days." Then she pointed to the band-aid at the corner of her son's eyebrows and said, "Didn't you see that he still has injuries here?"

"Train? Train a ghost! He can't relax. Can the French team leave him and can't play? Can't win?"

Chen Xiu'e said every word so righteously, with a typical expression of protecting her baby. Tang Yuantian shook his head and said, "I feel heartbroken to my son, but since he has healed his injury, he should go to training. Since he has done this, he must do it well. By the way, does the coach know that your injury has healed?"

Tang Jue had to tell the agreement with Domeneck. Tang Yuantian thought for a while and said, "Football matches are like war. Wars should pay attention to strategy and tactics, and wisdom. I understand your approach." After saying this, he began to talk about how ** used wisdom to conquer the country.

Chen Xiu'e did not listen to her husband's long speech, and took Alice's hand to ask about her well. Finally, she said, "If Juewazi dares to bully you, tell me, I will deal with him well!" Alice has become accustomed to Chinese thinking, and she smiled and said, "He has always been very good to me."

When Tang Jue heard this, he started to sweat on his forehead. If his mother and Alice knew about Patrick's existence, wouldn't he be dead?

When Tang Yuantian was drinking tea and sipped, Tang Jue asked his doubts: "Why are you here? How did you know that we live here?"

Tang Yuantian swallowed the tea in his mouth and was about to speak, but Chen Xiu'e looked at her son and said, "It's hard to remember the names of the French. He said he was your leader and he booked the ticket. After we got off the plane, he sent a car to pick us up."

Tang Yuantian shook his head and thought to himself: I will still be the same as before, so I won’t let me speak.

Tang Jue had a warm current flowing in his heart, and the team leader's approach was beyond his job. Tang Yuantian looked at Tang Jue and wanted to continue telling the war stories he knew, but suddenly forgot where he had just said. So he could only return to reality and say, "They are good to you, you should play football harder."

Tang Jue nodded and said, "I can do it!"

In the second minute of the opening, Gattuso tripped Podolski in the midfield. Then, Italy counterattacked, Perotta tripped by Kyle, Toti took the free kick thirty-five meters in front of the goal, and shot vigorously from the outside of his right foot. The ball hit the opponent's defender and was confiscated by Lehman. In the fifth minute, Pirlo tripped Balac and Borowski's free kick did not pose a threat. In the seventh minute, Klos took the ball in the frontcourt and was kicked down by Matrazi. Mexican referee Arjundia believed that it was not a foul.

As the game progressed, neither side had an excellent opportunity. The semi-finals were only one step away from the finals, and no one was willing to concede the ball first.
