On the field.

Zhang Tiehan is defending Zidane. In recent times, he has had many confrontations with Zidane. When the French team attacks, he will come to defend Zidane. When the England team attacks, Zidane has also come to him several times, attacking and defending each other twice, and constantly fighting one-on-one on the court.

The two are the core of the two teams, and their confrontation naturally attracted considerable attention.

Zhang Tiehan's idea of ​​defending Zidane is very simple. Many of the French team's offenses rely on Zidane to cooperate in the promotion, and the small-scale quick passes and receiving balls are also very reliant on Zidane to organize them. Zidane is also the best player in the French team. As long as Zidane's point is blocked, the French team's offense will be greatly affected.

But it is not easy to win just like this.

England is in a backward situation, and if you want to win, you must score goals. However, it is just a propulsion attack. It is too difficult to find the loopholes in the French team. The French team's defense is also very strict. When they lead two goals, they naturally do a good job of defense first and then seek an offense.

If you want to score a goal, you have to find an opportunity. If you can cut Zidane's goal, it will definitely be a good counterattack opportunity.

That's what Zhang Tiehan thought and did the same.

Under his defense, Zidane felt very depressed. As the most famous star of the French team, he was "known as the ancestor" before he retired. Zidane rarely encounters opponents on the court, but now he feels very troublesome.

The tough guy like an iron tower next to him was very cautious in defense. He originally thought that he could easily deceive the other party with his skills, but after a few times, he almost got stolen if he didn't pay attention. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to make no mistakes.

But he wants to organize the attack.

He cannot be completely restricted, otherwise the team's offense will be greatly affected. His only choice is to find opportunities to pass the ball to each other with his teammates, but he soon discovered that Zhang Tiehan has been following him. Although he is not doing well in defensive running, unless his teammates pass the ball very well, there will be danger.

In addition, even normal running is affected.

He couldn't squeeze the other party at all. In this way, if he wanted to run normally, he needed to "bypass" the other party, and it would be difficult to get the right time for such a running.

In short, he was greatly influenced in the offense.

When England attacked, Zidane was a little unwilling to defend Zhang Tiehan. He was a midfielder with strong offense and defense. Technically speaking, he had strong defensive position and personal stealing ability, but he soon discovered a sad fact - it was difficult for him to have too much impact on the opponent's dribbling.

His body is very flexible, but flexibility does not mean strength.

Compared with many other players, Zidane is also considered strong, but compared with Zhang Tiehan... this may not be comparable at all. He can't squeeze Zhang Tiehan at all. He is not that big guy, and Zhang Tiehan does a good job in protecting the ball. He doesn't compete with Zidane for skills at all, and he is just using his physical advantages to protect the ball and move forward strongly.

This will definitely not be able to get rid of Zidane. Similarly, it is difficult for Zidane to grab the ball.

The two of them kept fighting like this.

Their confrontation became the focus of the whole game. For a period of time, almost everyone talked about the two of them, and they were in repeated confrontations. The two were not sure of the winner. Zhang Tiehan's defense was very useful, but Zidane did not let him steal easily. Zidane's defense also had an impact on Zhang Tiehan, but the same was true. He was unable to complete the steal.

The two have been in a stalemate.

Overall, Zidane did a good job, at least in the eyes of others. Zhang Tiehan was defended by Zidane and it was difficult to find an opportunity. Zidane has been cooperating with his teammates, unless those professional footballers and fans look at him, Zidane needs to do better, because the situation on the field is still dominated by the French team.

The commentators obviously also see this. The French commentators are very happy to see Zidane having the upper hand. "Let's see, Zidane and Zhang are constantly fighting each other, but Zhang seems to have no way to deal with Zidane. His defense is useless, and Zidane still plays well."

"On the other hand, England's two attacks were unable to threaten. It can be seen that even Zhang was greatly affected in the face of Zidane's defense..."

This is pride!

Who in the world now thinks that he can defend Zhang Tiehan? But Zidane did it on the field, and he failed to find a chance at Zhang Tiehan twice. From the French commentator's perspective, this is success.

Of course, maybe others don't think so.

English Sky Sports guest and commentator Leinker said, "The two of them are both masters on the football field. Zhang has had a great impact on Zidane. During this period, the French team's offense is obviously much weaker, and Zidane has never posted a creative good goal again!"

"England's offense was very steady, and Zidane's close-fitting defense made it difficult for Zhang to find a shot. So far, the two of them have played a draw, and no one can get the advantage."

The commentators of the two countries have different views, but the mood of the fans of the two teams also reflects the situation of the two teams.

French fans are quite optimistic.

Now the French team is leading two goals, while Zidane and Zhang Tiehan are not at a disadvantage on the field, and France is also in an advantage on the field. This situation has given them great hope of victory, so naturally they don’t have to worry too much about the game. Many French fans have begun to talk about whether the opponent in the final will be Germany or Italy.

England fans are very worried about the team.

When they were two goals behind, they could not play an advantage on the court. They hoped that Zhang Tiehan could suppress Zidane, and England could play an advantage by then and find an opportunity to win a goal.

It's still too far to tie now, so you have to score a goal first to have a chance.

Side by.

Eriksen was also paying attention to the confrontation between Zhang Tiehan and Zidane. He knew very well what Zhang Tiehan was doing. He had the same mentality as the fans and hoped that Zhang Tiehan could suppress Zidane. However, the important thing was the offense. But at this time, there was Rooney in the frontcourt. If Zhang Tiehan went to the frontcourt again, England's backcourt defense would be dangerous.

Defense is a must.

But for England, offense is even more necessary.

Zhang Tiehan has been entangled with Zidane. The two of them kept attacking and collide with defensive collisions, but they did not really decide the winner. Perhaps there was no winner or lose on the field, but Zhang Tiehan always remembered what he needed to do - find an opportunity to fight back and score a goal!

Zidane is very cautious, always very cautious, and his strength is also very strong.

But no matter how cautious he is, no matter how strong he is, he will make mistakes. This time, when he received the pass from his teammate on the side, Zidane finally made a mistake. He knew that Zhang Tiehan was behind him, but after receiving the ball, he subconsciously sent the ball to the left, then turned around, intending to drive the ball towards Zhang Tiehan sideways.

But what he didn't expect was that just one action made Zhang Tiehan find an opportunity.

No one thought this was an opportunity. Everyone looked at the direction of the two, but at this moment, Zhang Tiehan activated. He suddenly moved forward and crossed his body between Zidane and the football, tightly blocking the position. Zidane turned around and wanted to control the ball, but Zhang Tiehan was blocked by Zhang Tiehan. He hit Zhang Tiehan directly and almost fell to the ground.

Many French fans exclaimed.

But the referee did not blow the whistle. Because Zhang Tiehan first blocked the main position of this ball, which was equivalent to a collision with Zidane after breaking the ball, rather than a direct block.

This is not a foul!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Tiehan controlled the ball as soon as possible and took it forward with all his strength.

French players immediately reacted and retreated to defend, but at this time half of the French players were in the frontcourt. There were also several players near the midfield. There were only two players who really had the opportunity to retreat to defend Zhang Tiehan - central defenders Toulam and Galas.

One of these two men stood behind Zidane, and the other was far behind the formation.

The first person Zhang Tiehan encountered was Turam.

Turam is a veteran who is one of the 125 greatest active football players listed by the Football King Pele, and he is one of the best defenders in the world.

Two goals in the 1998 World Cup semi-final against Croatia made him a French hero. After playing for seven years in Monaco, France, he transferred to Serie A and formed one of the best partners in football with Italian Cannavaro. In the summer of 2001, Toulam joined Juventus as a defender and became the most expensive defender in the world for £22 million.

His good defensive awareness and excellent physical fitness make almost no one in France able to shake his position. Just before the World Cup began, Toulam transferred to Barcelona, ​​Spain for 5 million euros.

In his late career, he was able to join the giants with a net worth of 5 million euros, which shows Tulam's condition and strength. Now Zhang Tiehan is facing this world's top central defender.

He was running wildly with the ball!

Turam came forward. He had experience in Italy to play against Zhang Tiehan, but Juventus and Roma were the winners. At that time, Zhang Tiehan did not score in that game. Now when he came to the World Cup, the French team also had a lead. Zhang Tiehan still did not perform well. Turam did not think he was unable to defend Zhang Tiehan.

But he was not careless either.

Using his experience, he retreated step by step to slow down Zhang Tiehan's speed. Even if he couldn't steal directly, he could turn around and keep up as soon as possible. This is Turam's defensive method.

But he failed to make a correct judgment on Zhang Tiehan's speed and explosive power...

Facing Turam, especially after running, Zhang Tiehan didn't care about his defense and movements at all. He just changed the ball to the left, and then twisted and killed and chased the ball. When Turam reacted and started to catch up, Zhang Tiehan had already rushed over first. He even had time to push the ball over and then rushed towards the goal.

This series of actions was completed in a very short time, and the commentators didn't even have time to explain. They only realized after Zhang Tiehan passed Tulam and the others.

"Zhang! He rushed past Toram!"

"Danger!"

"Good opportunity! Zhang Zai continued to move forward! There was only one Galas in front of him!"

William Galas currently plays for Chelsea, but it is said that Chelsea has reached an agreement with Arsenal on the transfer, when he will become a member of Arsenal in exchange.

This French central defender is an all-round backcourt player. He does not have a fixed main position at Chelsea, but he still plays a lot. The 29-year-old Galas is at the peak of his career, and his condition and physical fitness are better than Tullam.

And now all he needs to do is defend Zhang Tiehan.

Galas knew a lot about Zhang Tiehan. He knew that he could not grab the ball directly, but all he needed to do was to slow down Zhang Tiehan. As long as Turam followed behind him, they would attack one by one and one by one. Then even if the defense was completed, no matter how strong Zhang Tiehan was, it would be almost impossible to pass it easily against the two world's top central defenders.

That's what he planned, so he went straight to Zhang Tiehan and posted it.

Seeing Galas' actions, Zhang Tiehan naturally knew what this guy was going to do. While he was carrying the ball forward, he was judging the position of him and Galas, as well as Turam behind him. He knew very well that as long as Galas delayed for a moment, he would be in trouble.

He doesn't want to withstand the front and back attacks from two world's top central defenders.

Under the eyes of everyone in the game, Zhang Tiehan made a move in the dribbling. When he was about to get close to Galas, he suddenly took a big step forward, and moved the ball to the right with his left foot. He swung his right foot so hard that he would shoot at the front of the penalty area.

This action is so realistic!

Thuram behind him almost thought about it, and he directly tackled from the back. If an ordinary player wanted to shoot at this position, Thuram would not be able to defend at all, but Zhang Tiehan was different. If he asked him to find this position and shoot, the French goal would be really dangerous.

Almost at the same time, Galas also jumped up on the spot and wanted to block the goal with his body.

But the next moment, Zhang Tiehan did not draw the ball on the ball, but hooked the ball to the left. His waist almost twisted 90 degrees, which made many people at the scene uproar. Not to mention a tall man of 1.9 meters, even a small, flexible player of 1.6 meters, it would be difficult to twist his waist like this.

But Zhang Tiehan did it.

Many people looked at him and sweated coldly. This action was very easy to get injured... In addition, it is not easy for ordinary people to do it. What material is the body made of?

"God!" Many people exclaimed.

Even the English fans were the same. They also sweated for Zhang Tiehan's actions and completely forgot that this was a good opportunity for England to score.

But the next moment of the game reminds them of it.

Zhang Tiehan pushed the ball to the left and twisted his body and moved forward easily. He looked neither anxious nor slow, and he could know the current situation - Galas and Toulam were deceived by him in one move, and there was only one goalkeeper Butters in front of him.

Butters attacked!

Just as he attacked, many English fans were already celebrating the goal. They were extremely confident in Zhang Tiehan's single shot because they could not imagine that Zhang Tiehan would kick a single shot - that should be an exception for Irving or Rooney.

Zhang Tiehan is not in the special case of kicking a single shot.

The same goes for the result.
