Chapter 482
PS: In the new week, I hope everyone will support me. Thank you everyone~
The Four-Country Invitational held in France this time attracted a lot of attention, because three of the four participating teams are World Cup champions (England, Brazil, Italy), and the remaining one is the host of next year's World Cup France team.
Such a gorgeous team naturally attracted the attention of many fans in this summer without the World Cup and European Cup.
Due to Fiorentina's outstanding performance this season, among these four participating teams, except for the England national team, the other three teams include Florence players.
Djokav, who is about to transfer, was recruited into the French national team. Of course, the Frenchman was still inevitably promoted by Yakeer this time, asking him to seize the time to play football in a team that can play as the main players.
Ronaldo also entered the Brazilian national team and partnered with the lone wolf Romario on the front line. This is also an experiment made by Brazilian coach Zagalo. He wanted to see how much energy this pair can exert when facing these world-class teams.
As for the Italian national team of Maldini, Fiorentine players occupy more places, from Vieri and Inzaghi on the forward line, to Dibiagio and Tomasi in the midfield, to Ferrara, Nesta and Zambrota on the back line, as well as goalkeepers Tordo, and even Matrazi and Inzaghi on loan to Ajax were packed into the Apennines by Mahalla in one go.
It’s not that Old Martini really plans to bring so many players with Fiorentine backgrounds to the World Cup in France. If he really does this, other teams will probably have opinions. Although Fiorentine’s performance in the past two years is a bit amazing, it is not as strong as it can occupy all the positions of the national team.
The reason why this time did not arouse opposition from other teams is mainly because this Four Nations Invitational is just a friendly match, and Fiorentina has never lost in the league this season, which blocked the mouths of others.
On June 3, the opening match of the Four Nations Invitational began at the Gerland Stadium in Lyon. Both sides of the game were host France and last World Cup champion Brazil.
Although Romario and Ronaldo appeared together in this game and caused quite a lot of trouble for France's defense, it's a pity that both the Lone Wolf and the Aliens seemed to have forgotten their shooting boots in the hotel today, and did not use goals to help Samba's team take the lead. The score has been maintained at zero to zero.
In the final stage of the first half, as it had happened in history, Robert Carlos stepped forward, and the Brazilian was still at that position and scored that incredible free kick.
At the distance of 35 yards from the goal, Carlos first made a very long run-up run, then swung his left leg and pulled the ball hard to his right!
French goalkeeper Fabian Battz did not move at all. From his perspective, Carlos's free kick was obviously a flaw. The ball did not fly towards the goal he was guarding, but went directly to the corner flag.
Just when everyone thought that the free kick that Carlos kicked was to fly out of the baseline, the ball that was halfway through the flight suddenly turned a big turn to the left and then fell into the French team's goal!
"The ball... the ball has entered!" At this moment, the commentator finally realized that he knew that it was not the time for him to be in a daze. "The goal was Robert Carlos! A very exciting direct free kick! According to the latest data sent back to me, Carlos' free kick speed reached 130 kilometers per hour! An incredible goal!"
Almost everyone who witnessed this scene almost frightened his chin. Little Groz, who was sitting next to Zhuang Mingge, had an incredible expression on his face, and his little mouth was so open that he could almost stuff a complete egg: "This, how could this be possible? How could the ball fly out such a strange arc!"
"Well, from a physics perspective, it seems to be called the Magnus effect or something." Zhuang Mingge recalled carefully. He remembered that he seemed to have read such an article analyzing the generation of such arc balls in his previous life. The explanation given by those experts at that time seemed to be the Magnus effect.
"Magnus effect? What is that?" Groz asked curiously, and immediately stopped Zhuang Mingge, who had only half a bottle of water in his stomach.
"That... I just heard someone say something like that before, and I didn't remember the details." Zhuang Mingge's face turned red, thinking that this kind of academic problem was indeed not something that laymen like him could just go up and pretend to be an expert to explain.
"Hmph, let's show it~" Seeing Zhuang Mingge's embarrassment, Rebecca just made fun of Zhuang Mingge a little, and then gently let the other party go.
"Ahem... Having said that, after this game, Robert (Carlos)'s fame will definitely rise a lot because of the goal just now."
"Haha, there will definitely be a big one at that time! A lot! Quotes related to Carlos are sent to Florence~" Rebecca said this, and smiled evilly from the side.
"Uh... I'm not the one who handled these documents anyway. I've notified Giancarlo before and they directly refused to drop these quotations. It should be no big problem... right?"
"Tsk tsk, the Florence employees are really pitiful. I met such an unscrupulous hand-off manager."
"I'm not a hand-off manager! This is called knowing people and being well-arranged! Of course, a good leader must do this. If he does everything himself, he will not be too efficient. I will be exhausted myself."
"Tsk..."
Just as Zhuang Mingge and Rebecca were bickering in the box, the French players launched a counterattack after conceding the ball. Although the Brazilian team got a lot of opportunities to expand the score, unfortunately, neither Romario nor Ronaldo, nor Giovani and Dejaminha who came on the bench failed to seize these opportunities.
In the end, Brazil, who wasted opportunities repeatedly, wasted by France's forward Mark Keller, who was replaced by France, equalized the score with a supplementary shot in the second half, and finally frozen the score on the field one-to-one.
After the opening game, the subsequent development was indeed unfortunately criticized by Zhuang Mingge and Rebecca. With this shocking free kick, Carlos' popularity in international football has increased rapidly.
If anyone doesn't say a few words about Carlos' free kick when talking about football with others, then that person will definitely be mocked by others as a fake fan or a rustic bun.
Quotes about Carlos are also coming one after another. This time, not only was he attracted to Real Madrid, which was eyeing Brazilians, but also Barcelona, Bayern and other giants also participated.
