However, Dong Fangzhuo also recognized the strong strength of the French team.

"If France gets enough offensive space, then our game will be very difficult. Our goal is to try to defend well, not to think about how to score."

"I know Mbappe more than anyone else. He is the most threatening player. But I won't give him such an opportunity easily. On the other hand, France actually thinks so."

"We want to win this game, that way we can reach the semi-finals, and all the teams here want to win the World Cup, but they have to keep winning the ball to achieve it. We know the importance of the quarter-finals, and winning over France will make us stronger and closer to our goal."

"The only thing I worry about is... the referee." Dong Fangzhuo changed his tone and touched the referee. The referee who enforced the law in this game was an Argentine.

"He has some controversial law enforcement in this Cup, some balls that can be judged or not, and he did not ask for var. This is very unscientific. Why do other referees deal with this problem on the spot when they encounter this kind of problem, and can he choose to ignore it? Since var is used, it should be respected scientifically..."

Although Dong Fangzhuo is a rookie, he will also divert pressure and play psychological warfare. This is the first time this World Cup has used var technology, and many of the penalty is controversial, so Dong Fangzhuo also stepped on it.

In fact, his first pre-match press conference said nothing...

The Chinese team is mysterious, while the French team is open and honest. Deschamps then attended the press conference, and his style is completely different from Dong Fangzhuo.

It seems that before the game starts, he is sure to win.

"We will be the team that beats the Chinese team."

"No doubt our team is ready. They will be at a loss in front of us. No matter where we are, we have the ability to attack, and we cannot make mistakes like Uruguay."

"We will keep attacking until they surrender."

Subsequently, Deschamps also announced the starting lineup.

France (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Loris

Defenders: Paval, Varane, Umtiti, Lucas Hernandez

Midfielder: Pogba, Kante, Toledo

Forward: Griezmann, Giroud, Mbappe

Only Matuidi did not start because he was suspended. If he did not suspend the game, Matuidi should have replaced Toliso.

But this lineup is strong enough.

"Varane shouldn't have recovered completely, this guy is injured."

Seeing Varane become the starter, Dong Fangzhuo said in the locker room, "If anyone of us takes the ball to face him, we must firmly push him down!"

"Feng Jin, when I am surrounded by Pogba and Kante, you must rush forward firmly."

“Every time.”

"Believe me, there will always be one time when I will pass the ball to your feet."

“Thirty more,”

"You two are our greatest hope to defeat France."

Although the starting lineup has not been announced to the public, Dong Fangzhuo has actually confirmed the starting lineup long ago.

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng

Defenders: Deng Hanwen, Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, Wang Gang

Midfielder: Hao Junmin, Zheng Zhi, Huang Bowen

Forward: Wu Sanshi, Dong Fangzhuo, Feng Jin

It seems to be 433, but in fact, the change in the forward line is the biggest. Feng Jin and Wu Sanshi have no height advantage, but they have speed. According to Dong Fangzhuo's idea, they are defensive counterattacks. In the French team's defense line with a tall and powerful team, these two small players will be very important counterattack pieces.

...

Nearly 60,000 fans were poured into the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, and the fans on both sides almost scored a lot, occupying the majority of the stands.

"Pattern Tiger, look at it. Without Zidane, they are nothing."

"I want to enter the semi-finals after 12 years, dream!"

"Since Zidane retired, France has nothing."

Chinese fans also know France very well, and many fans regard Zidane as the king of football.

"Since Ronaldo and Zidane, the one who really dominated the World Cup was Dong Fangzhuo. If Dong Fangzhuo had been born in any wealthy national team, Dong Fangzhuo would have been able to win three World Cup championships long ago!"

French fans were also extremely excited.

"It's time to finish off the Chinese Dong's mantle today. Mbappe can definitely continue to shine in the World Cup."

"Defeat his master and become the new master of the football world!"

French fans put all their hopes on Mbappe, and Griezmann and Giroud are all over the world.

The live camera kept sweeping on Henry and Zidane, who had led the French team to a greater success than Platini. The two kept whispering and laughing from time to time.

Two other meritorious players, Lizarazu and Toulam, appeared on French sports TV to comment on the game.

They also gave advice to Deschamps, but unfortunately, Deschamps would not hear anything they said now.

"Decchamps was the captain of the World Cup championship that year, and he knew how to lead the team to the end."

"This is our strongest team."

"In fact, this game is somewhat similar to the World Cup final in 1998. Ronaldo was soaring like a sunny day and looked down on the world as the world's number one person, but was defeated by Zidane."

"This time it's still a Chinese Dong who is soaring to the sky."

"Although we don't have Zidane now, we also have Mbappe..."

"But we are not just Mbappe, the players in every position are perfect."

"The Chinese team is not. Apart from China Dong, the players in their other positions are hard to say, although they all have the highest level in Asia."

...

...

...

In the locker room, Dong Fangzhuo was making the final mobilization.

“We are the world champions,”

“We have the blood of the champion,”

"No matter who the opponent is, we are fearless!"

"We will fight to the last second from the first second we step onto the court!"

"The one who falls will always be the opponent, not us!"

"We need to prove with our actions that we are still the most powerful team in the world!"

"They said they have the sharpest hair in the world, and we have to tell them that we are!"

"They said that they use their hands to the hardest shield in the world, and we must tell them that we are!"

...

...

“Nothing is more convincing than beating China,”

"Standing on the top of the world, we must start by defeating the Chinese team,"

"Each of you has such a mission, and victory will let you know what a great thing you did today!"
