There are really many Russian fans who come to watch the game on site. They responded to the call of the Russian media and came to cheer for their teams. Russian media reported that Russian billionaire and Chelsea boss Abu paid out of his own pocket and took on round-trip air tickets for 5,000 fans.

Ernst-Hapur Stadium is unfamiliar with the French. Three days ago, their team defeated the powerful Spain here. At this moment, the stadium is crowded with people, with buzzing noises and flags. The supporters of the two teams have turned it into a grand stage.

Suddenly, thunderous applause sounded from the south of the stadium, and the camera pointed the VIP seat. A man who was not very tall was waving to the fans, he was Russian President Putin. Tonight, he appeared here as a special fan; tonight, he was going to witness the birth of a miracle with his people.

Accompanying Putin is UEFA President - Frenchman Platini. This picture is very interesting. The two teams in the game tonight have a close relationship with them. I don’t know what their expressions will be like after the goal.

Football celebrities from both countries also appeared in the stands. They were here to watch the game and to boost the morale of the team. The battle was about to break out!

...

In the locker room, coaches from both sides were encouraging their players, Hiddink yelled: "We are going to create miracles here tonight!"

Domeneck said: "We won't let miracles appear tonight!"

...

At 7:40, the players on both sides walked out of the player channel under the leadership of the referee. What greeted them were applause, cheers, and screams that shook the sky...

ESPN said: "The players from both sides entered the field. The upcoming game is the second semi-final of this European Cup. The two sides are the French team led by Don and the Russian team led by Hiddink. Both teams are going through the life-and-death battle in the last round of the group stage and advance to the quarterfinals as the second in the group."

"In the quarter-finals, Russia eliminated the strong Netherlands, while France eliminated the favorite Spain to win the championship. The semi-finals held last night gave people full reason to believe that tonight's game will definitely not disappoint."

German TV said: "We will now introduce the starting list of both sides. France, goalkeeper: Kupe; four defenders: Abidal, Turam, Gala, Saniol; four midfielders: Maluda, Turalang, Maklale, Ribery; two forwards: Henry, Don."

"Domeneck has used the lineup of defeating Italy and Spain in the first two games, and the French Tridents are all on the court, and they will attack the French team."

"Russia, goalkeeper: Akinfeyev; four defenders: Ahnukov, V Berezovsky Ignashevich, Jerkov; five midfielders: Shemak, Sayanko, Ziryanov, Shemeshov, Arshavin, single striker: Pavlyuchenko."

"Arshavin's position is a forward-looking forward. That is what people often call the No. 9 and a half, a killer hidden behind the striker. His performance will determine the fate of Russia."

"Russia's lineup has only one change compared to the quarterfinals, with central defender V-Beresovsky replacing the suspended Kolodin."

Henrik Hilario, a famous commentator of French TV, had a little concern: "It started raining in Vienna yesterday afternoon and it is still falling. The slippery turf requires more demands on players, and this weather is not good for the French team."

Milan TV said: "There is no pre-match story in this game, and the French team is very low-key. In the quarter-finals, before France and Spain, a huge siege fell from the sky under the promotion of some media in Spain and Britain. The media of the two countries criticized that Don and Schuster's resignation were inevitable."

"Later, some German media also participated, and they wanted to seek justice for Schuster. Faced with the attack from the media in the Three Kingdoms, Don fought back strongly and shouted at Ernst Hapur Stadium: Spain, England, and Germany are the teams I will always beat in the future."

"After ninety minutes of fierce battle, the angry Don performed a hat trick and led France to defeat Spain four-to-two. After the game, the French media launched a surging counterattack, ridiculing the Spanish for shooting themselves in the foot. The angry Don was terrible. In the game tonight, the Russians did not attempt to anger Don. So, what kind of game will he calm down bring to us tonight?"

"What will this team that wants to restore the image of French football? What achievements will Tang bring to people in this cup? The battle curtain will be revealed soon. If France defeats Russia, they will compete with Germany for the final championship."

"Tang once said that Germany is the team he has always wanted to defeat. If France enters the finals, good shows will be staged!"

...

The rain was still falling, and Tang Jue was wearing the captain's armband, pedaling on the slippery grass, and stood in the middle circle with Henry.

"Beep!..." The referee whistled and the game officially began!

ESPN shouted: "Dang kicked football back to his half and the game started! The weather was really bad tonight, and the rain might affect the excitement of the game."

After the game started, the French team did not launch a fierce attack immediately. They advanced layer by layer in an organized manner. The Russian team changed their playing style in the previous few games and did not press high positions. Domenek, who was standing in the command area, had a strange look in his eyes. The opponent's tactics indeed changed!

However, the brilliant color in his eyes disappeared immediately. What if the other party set up an iron barrel array?

In the fifth minute, the French team suddenly accelerated the rhythm. Tulalang made a diagonal pass, and Ribery took the football to throw away the defense and quickly went down the bottom along the sideline. Ribery was like a sharp knife, instantly cutting the Russian right defense line, and passed the football to the penalty area with his left foot at eight meters from the bottom line.

Russia has stocked up a large number of people in the penalty area, and central defender V Berezovsky stretched out his left foot to block the football from the baseline and a corner kick!

Ribery kicked the ball into the penalty area with one kick. Russian goalkeeper Akinfeyev tried his best to lift the ball out of the penalty area with one punch. Tang Jue, outside the penalty area, moved towards the ball, raised his right foot and volleyed in the air!

A white light suddenly appeared, and Russian defender Sayanko desperately blocked the football with his body. Henry took a quick step forward, raised his left foot, and shot it. The football still failed to cross the crowd and bounced out of the penalty area. Tang Jue took a step forward and controlled the football under his feet!

Ziryanov and Shemeshov rushed up yellingly, and Hiddink's words were still lingering in their ears, "Don't give Tang a space to shoot!" A few seconds ago, Tang Jue had completed the first shot of the game. The two felt that they had dereliction of duty and must not let him shoot again now.

"Bang!..." With a crisp sound, Tang Jue quickly completed his second shot of the game before the two of them rushed forward. The football flew out of the turf and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal!

The football traveled through the rain, and its trajectory changed. It deviated from what Tang Jue expected. A white light shone, and the football flew from the beam to the bottom line!

A huge sigh sounded from the stadium, followed by a burst of applause. Tang Jue looked at the football and frowned slightly. He knew that it was the heavy rain that changed the trajectory of the football.

ESPN shouted: "Dang had two shots at the beginning of the game, which means he was very excited tonight."

Hiddink was very dissatisfied with this. He stood in the command area and shouted at his midfielder, reminding them to strengthen their defense against the French top star.

In the next game, the French team continued to put pressure on Russia, and they firmly controlled the midfield. Russia shrank its defense line and hoarded its heavy troops in front of the penalty area. Their tactics were very clear, which was to fight a defensive counterattack. For a moment, Russia rolled up a huge blue wave in the first half!

A huge wave hit the red reef and splashed waves.

In the seventh minute, Henry shot hard outside the penalty area, and Akinfeyev saved the football bravely!

In the eighth minute, Ribery successfully cut inside, broke into the penalty area, shot hard, and the football slipped out!

In the tenth minute, Maluda successfully broke through the wing and passed the football to the back point. Tang Jue grabbed the point, but under the double-team of V-Beresovsky and Ignashevich, his header missed the goal!

In the 13th minute, Tang Jue dribbled the ball and broke through, and failed to make a breakthrough under the defense of five Russians. In the 15th minute, he tried again, but under the defense of four opponents, he had to give the football to Ribery on the left. The Russians did put a lot of money on Tang Jue and restricted the youngest world footballer in history.

Russia stubbornly withstood the French offensive wave. In the 19th minute, they launched a quick counterattack by midfielder Ziryanov. Arshavin led the football to move forward quickly along the right road. Marklele was like a tiger and knocked the Russian brain away with his shoulders. The referee whistled and directly received the free kick!

Russian TV said: "The French attack was fierce, but the Russian team came over tenaciously."

German TV said: "Russia abandoned the high-pressures in the previous few games and hoarded heavy troops in front of the penalty area to form a wall of iron. The French team attempted to threaten the opponent's goal with breakthroughs and long shots. Don was besieged by Russian players. Whenever he dribbled the ball, four or five opponents began to attack."

"The space is limited and the speed cannot be exerted. Don failed to break through Russia's defense line. From the current point of view, Hiddink's tactics are successful."

With a free kick twenty-eight meters away from the stadium, Al Shavin took a direct shot. However, his shot was above the crossbar.

Time is passing by rapidly, and the French team's offensive remains unabated, but they cannot find the flaws in Russia's defense. Henrik Hilario, a famous commentator at France's TV, said: "Hiddink's tactics are very clear, putting heavy troops in front of the penalty area. When France advanced to thirty meters away from the stadium, they began to press frantically."

"The French team tried many methods but still could not tear open the opponent's defense line. Russia's offense mainly relies on Arshavin to counterattack. So far, their offensive threat is not very high."

His words turned around: "Russia plays ugly football, huddling in its own half like a turtle!"

Seeing the Russian turtle huddle in front of the penalty area, French fans booed loudly, and some fans shouted: "The Russians are transformed from turtles!"

"You guys grew up eating turtles!"
