Chapter 156 Commentary Finals
Italian coach Lippi has a good sense of Wansheng. Wansheng's coaching achievements in Derby County and Manchester City are convincing. At the same time, the modest attitude he showed during the conversation also made Lippi full of goodwill.
Lippi believed that the young Chinese's opinions on preparations for the war would be of great reference value.
Therefore, before the World Cup final, Lippi combined his own views and Wansheng's opinions to formulate a preparation plan for the last two days. In this plan, the penalty kick became the end point. In addition, the training was aimed at the French star Zidane. And Ribery's defense is to be repeated.
Italy used nearly half of the training penalty kicks, and also let every player watch the cut clips of Zidane and Ribery's excellent performance in the game, which can bring some reference value to the players' defense.
After that, he handed over the defensive tasks to each player separately, among which the central defender Materazzi shouldered the heavy responsibility. His task was to make a tight mark after Zidane crossed the half.
For two days, Italy's preparations for the war were carried out in an orderly manner.
On the other hand, the French team is preparing for the game as planned. Domenech has his own ideas. He believes in the team's offensive ability and also determines that the match between Italy and France is likely to be decided in 90 minutes. Tactical coordination has become the focus of preparation.
Of course, the training of penalty kicks should not be neglected. After all, this is the World Cup final, and playing steadily is more important than anything else, so it is very possible that the two teams cannot decide the winner within 90 minutes.
The French team did not consume too much time and energy in training for penalty kicks. Domenech only let a limited number of stars such as Zidane and Henry participate in the penalty kick training. The opportunity to kick a penalty kick, this way of preparation is still feasible.
Just as the two teams were closely preparing for the final, Wan Sheng was not idle. He received an invitation from Xinlang Sports. Let's talk about this World Cup decisive game.
The offer of Xinlang Sports is not high. The cost of this commentary is only 1 million yuan. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of euros of Sky TV, it is really ineffective, but Wansheng finally agreed, because Xinlang Sports is Chinese. Internet media. The live broadcasts are also free to watch. This allows him to reach more Chinese fans, which is very helpful for promoting his fame in China.
It is also the first time for Wan Sheng to serve as a guest commentator for Chinese media, and he is still looking forward to it.
Xinlang Sports invited Wansheng to expand the influence of webcasting. In 2006, webcasting was only in the early stage of development and was not very popular. More fans are watching the game on TV. In order to develop online live broadcasts and attract more fans to watch, Xinlang Sports needs to invite "big names" to explain the game. Obviously, in football, there are not many big names in China, such as those domestic coaches or star players. It is difficult to attract the attention of domestic fans.
Wansheng is a character of different grades.
When it comes to football in China, Wansheng is also in front of the famous star Hao Haidong. Because Wansheng has gone further on the road of football, although he is not a player, it is more difficult for a football coach to succeed than a player, and regardless of how many stars there are in the world, how many top and first-class coaches are there? Therefore, Wansheng is very famous in China, and Wansheng's presence as a guest of the live broadcast will definitely attract many fans to watch.
Another point is that Wansheng does not often serve as a live guest of the game. It should be said that this is the first time in the domestic media. Even the very influential CCTV has never invited Wansheng.
Therefore, Xinlang Sports attaches great importance to this live broadcast. It started to promote it on various large websites two days ago. Many fans saw the news and were ready to watch the live broadcast of Xinlang Sports.
This is equivalent to a face-to-face opportunity with Wansheng, and no loyal fans will miss it.
Even if the signal of the TV is a little faster than the live broadcast, fans will still choose to watch Wansheng's commentary on the live broadcast. After all, this is more interesting than the rigid commentary of the TV station.
Wansheng is the commentator, and the advertising effect is naturally very good, and it can even be described as hot.
Before the official start of the game, Xinlang made statistics that at least more than 60 million Chinese fans will watch the live broadcast.
This number is really amazing!
Therefore, Xinlang almost regarded the live broadcast as a key project of the year. Various advertisements, website backgrounds, and activities during the game were launched in a short period of time, just to satisfy the fans who watched the live broadcast.
At the same time, Xinlang also used this live broadcast to earn some advertising fees, such as the pop-up small advertisements on the live broadcast page. A small page can be sold for a sky-high price, and the cost is almost comparable to the advertisement of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
As a result, on the night before the game, in order to ensure that there would be no accidents, Xinlang specially raised the commentary fee from 1 million yuan to 4 million yuan, and the remuneration directly quadrupled, which also made Wansheng very satisfied.
At the same time, many advertisers and large enterprises have also seen the potential value of Wansheng.
Many people always thought that Wansheng was just a good football coach and became famous in China, but now they find that the potential value of Wansheng is too high, the key point is that he has such a reputation, but Rarely do endorsements and advertisements.
People familiar with the matter can think that Wansheng has an investment company registered in the United Kingdom, and it is very clear. In short, Wansheng does not care about a little money for advertising endorsements, and he does not need to waste time for a little income.
But big advertising contracts are not necessarily!
For example, Nike and Adidas have been striving to win the endorsement contract of Wansheng. Wansheng's agent Kevin Tagore did not refuse, but was up for sale.
In fact, Wansheng is not willing to sign a big contract in sports now, because his influence is not strong enough, and the endorsement fee is difficult to compare with those football stars, such as Zidane, Beckham and the like, rashly. Signing is a bit of a waste.
When his personal influence reaches a certain level, it will be completely different. Perhaps the endorsement of sports brands alone can generate more than ten million euros in income a year.
This is not fantasy.
Before this World Cup, Nike had offered a high price of nearly 4 million euros a year, which was almost close to his salary in Manchester City, but Kevin Tagore still did not agree. He was very convinced of Wansheng's vision, so He is expected after the World Cup. The 'World Cup Prediction' will make Wansheng's reputation even higher, and it will not be surprising that Nike will spend an extra 2 or 3 million euros a year.
It all depends on this game.
This may also be Wansheng's personal fame gamble.
If the game is really what Wansheng predicted, Wansheng may be sent to the altar by fans and lottery players, otherwise his 'prediction' ability will be somewhat affected.
In fact, Wansheng didn't expect that he was only predicting a few games. It's actually like this now. The World Cup matches that have nothing to do with him are actually related to his personal gains and losses.
But Wan Sheng doesn't care about the reputation of "prediction". Even without this reputation, his coaching ability will not be affected.
That's enough.
All he cares about is football.
Wan Sheng is also the first time to act as a commentator in China. He also knows that there are many rules and regulations in China. In terms of public commentary, there are still many things to pay attention to. He specifically asked this question.
The cooperating narrator reminded. "Just don't talk about politics."
Wan Sheng nodded, satisfied with this answer.
He hates domestic rules and regulations. He can't say this or that. The commentator of the game can't be inclined. Fortunately, he is very famous, and he is also a guest on Xinlang's webcast, so there are not so many scruples.
He is not a politician. But I don't have the heart to talk about politics, and even Chinese football is too lazy to talk about it.
Then just talk about the game.
Soon the game day will come. About an hour before the start, Wansheng was already sitting in the Sina live broadcast room.
The camera also started shooting.
However, the live broadcast was only half an hour before the start of the game. Wan Sheng was just chatting with the staff casually. After the game was about to start, the screen cut to the scene. The players of the two teams were warming up. At this time, Wan Sheng sat next to him and listened to the commentator. Background, history, players, whatever.
After all, it was about to start, and it was Wan Sheng’s turn to speak. He started talking about his inclination, “When the reporter from the Kicker newspaper interviewed, I said that I prefer the Italian team to win the championship!”
"They asked me why and I told them that I have a better personal relationship with Marcello. It's not a joke, it's what's in my heart, when your friend plays against a stranger, you always want your friend to win."
Wansheng's words made many fans feel a lot closer.
Afterwards, Wan Sheng talked about his conversation with Lippi, "He wanted me to give me some advice on preparing for the game, and I said some things, such as training for penalty kicks and paying attention to the defense of Zidane and Ribery of the French team. It's important and I think it's going to be a key point in deciding the game."
"But the more important point is the performance of the two teams on the field..."
After that, Wansheng talked eloquently about the two teams.
Soon the time passed, the two teams were already on both sides of the court, and the game was about to start.
Both teams played their main force.
Nesta is the only main player missing from the two teams. He missed all matches in the knockout stage due to a groin injury. French substitute striker Saha accumulated yellow cards and was suspended. Italian midfielder De Rossi ended a 4-game suspension and sat on the bench. .
In addition, it is worth mentioning that this is Cannavaro's 100th appearance for the national team, and he becomes the third Italian international to enter the "Hall of Fame" after Maldini and Zoff.
The commentator began to introduce the history of the confrontation between the two teams, "In the previous 32 encounters between the two teams, Italy had 17 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses, scored 75 goals and conceded 44 goals, and won the first 2 games in 4 World Cup encounters, but in 1986 1/ A 0-2 loss in the final of the 8 was a watershed, the last time Italy lost within 90 minutes of the World Cup knockout stage. Since then, France has been unbeaten against Italy in all competitions, with the 1998 World Cup quarter-final France scoring The ball won."
"The last time the two teams met in a major final was at Euro 2000, Italy with 17 seconds to go, Wiltord tying the score and Trezeguet's 'Golden Ball' victory in extra time... "
In the constant introduction of the commentator, Wansheng also felt the attention of the game. More than 70,000 fans poured into the Olympic Stadium for this game, and the number of live TV viewers exceeded 1 billion.
French President Chirac, Italian President Napolitano, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, South African President Mbeki, Austrian Prime Minister Husserl, Prince Albert of Monaco and other dignitaries all came to watch the battle.
These make Wansheng feel a little respectful. Although he has led the team to win the Premier League championship in a row, he has never led the team to stand on such a big stage.
Compared to such a big stage, the Premier League is really a little bit of a fight...
"There will be a chance." He thought firmly.
The game started soon.
The French team was a little nervous at the start, but Italy found a chance. Pirlo crosses Totti diagonally, and the Roman prince shoots into the net.
1:0.
Five minutes into the opening, Italy scored the first goal!
This goal made all the Italian and Italian supporters cheer.
Wansheng was a little surprised by this goal. The game in Italy seemed to be smoother than expected, and he also roared twice. But then carefully analyze the goal. "Pirlo's passing is very precise, he has the best level in the world in this regard. Totti's lob is also sudden and unexpected..."
But what is unexpected is that Italy seems to be unable to find its direction after scoring the goal. They made a careless mistake for a while. As a result, between the 25th and 33rd minutes of the game, the French team scored two consecutive goals. ball.
"Goal scored! 2:1. France overtook the score!"
The last goal was a penalty. Ribery made a long pass from a free kick, Henry headed the ball near the left sideline, Malouda turned his left rib and cut into the penalty area, breaking through the double-team between Cannavaro and Materazzi, and Materazzi raised his left side. Fall to the ground after making light contact with the legs.
Argentine referee Elizondo points to the penalty spot!
Zidane calmly shot a spoon shot, the ball hit the lower edge of the right crossbar and bounced into the goal line, and then hit the crossbar and was captured by goalkeeper Buffon.
But the ball had crossed the goal line earlier!
2:1.
The French team scored two goals in a row, leaving many people stunned. A series of analysis before the game is not important at this moment, the French team played too well during this time. They seized the opportunity, which is more important than anything.
"The Italian team shouldn't make this mistake, they should pay attention to defense." Seeing the French team scoring two goals in a row, Wansheng said rationally.
Now he's fully committed to a good game.
While commenting on the two goals scored by the French team, he considered what he should do if he were Lippi.
At this time, the French team has a sharp attack and full of fighting spirit. Even if the strength is not bad, the reckless struggle will definitely outweigh the gains, so the only option is to stabilize the defense and stabilize the situation first.
Just as Wansheng thought, Italy stabilized its defense and stopped rashly attacking, and the game entered a stable stage.
Halfway through the second half, the two teams did not score any more goals. At this time, Wansheng thought that his little butterfly was going to change history. In memory, Italy won the World Cup, but now the situation is dominant. It's the French team.
He was secretly excited, and he was worried that the future would no longer be in his hands.
At this moment, the situation on the field changed, Camoranesi won the right corner kick, Pirlo took a curved ball with an accurate landing point, Materazzi pressed Vieira behind, 6 meters in front of the goal. The header hits the center of the goal.
2:2!
Italy tied the score!
Wan Sheng excitedly waved his arms high, "Goooooooooal!!! Goal!"
"Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!"
"Goal scored! Italy tied the score! Materazzi! Materazzi! He is the hero who saved Italy!"
Wan Sheng's voice is very passionate, and his roar is exciting.
Many fans listened to Wan Sheng's words and couldn't help but get excited, and immediately they felt that Wan Sheng was much closer.
In the past, domestic fans felt alienated when they saw Wansheng. Even if Wansheng made any achievements, he was still abroad, and he was far away from them. When they saw Wansheng on the news, they were all photos taken by reporters, and some The text description, and now that Wansheng is on the stage of Sina live broadcast, his loud roar makes the fans feel very close.
Many fans used to be unfamiliar with Wansheng, but now they are no strangers.
Wan Sheng didn't know that his emotional roar could not help bring this effect. He just devoted himself to the game seriously and commented from time to time.
In the 76th minute of the audience, a very familiar scene appeared.
At this moment, Wan Sheng was a little stunned, the memory of his previous life emerged, and he seemed to already know what was going to happen next. But there was also a sense of trance, as if it was the first time I experienced it.
Sure enough, as in memory, when Materazzi was marking Zidane, the two seemed to have an argument. Zidane lost his composure. Suddenly his head was on Materazzi's chest, and Materazzi fell to the ground.
The referee Elizondo blew the whistle to suspend the game, and the assistant referee did not see Zidane's actions, but the big screen on the stadium played slow motion.
Elizondo really showed the red card!
At this moment, Wansheng was very emotional. If he stood from the perspective of ordinary fans in the previous life, he would definitely think that Materazzi was a villain, but now he thinks Materazzi is very great.
He sacrificed himself for the victory in Italy!
Nobody wants to be a villain. Professional players also need to take care of their reputation. But on the stage of the World Cup final, victory is more important than everything else. Materazzi chose to sacrifice himself to anger Zidane. He will carry a lot of infamy, but Italy will win the championship.
In the eyes of outsiders, Materazzi is a complete bad guy, but in the eyes of Italian fans. Materazzi is a hero that can be remembered forever!
All this Wansheng was just a feeling in his heart, and he didn't say it. The scene is only an objective analysis of the game situation.
Zidane was sent off, and the French team lost one person, obviously occupying a great disadvantage.
Zidane is extremely important to the French team. Without Zidane, the French team has lost its core and soul. In addition, there is one less person than Italy, and it is difficult for them to compete with Italy.
They chose the safest strategy - defense.
"The French team also has to defend." Wan Sheng commented, "The way they win now is to drag the game to the end of 120 minutes, when the game is decided by penalty kicks, they will have the best chance."
Domenech thought so too, shouting to remind the players what to do.
In the next game, Italy had an overall advantage, but it was not easy to break through the French defense line. Time passed little by little, and 90 minutes, stoppage time, and extra time passed in a flash.
In 120 minutes, the two teams ended up 2:2.
They are about to decide the winner in a penalty shootout.
At this time, the Italian players were full of confidence, because they had focused training on penalty kicks before the game, and they believed that taking penalty kicks was not afraid of France at all.
Sure enough, Italy had an advantage in the penalty shootout.
In the first round, both Pirlo and Wiltord scored.
In the second round, Materazzi hit the lower right corner with his left foot, but Trezeguet hit the bottom edge of the crossbar with his right foot and hit outside the goal line!
2 to 1.
In the 3rd and 4th rounds, De Rossi and Del Piero, including Abidal and Sagnol, all scored the ball.
At this time, it also showed the penalty level of France and Italy.
Recalling the penalty shootout between England and Portugal, Lampard and Gerrard all kicked the ball one after another, while Italy scored 4 goals in 4 rounds, and France also scored 3 goals with one kick.
But one ball is enough to decide the outcome!
In the last round, Grosso scored with his left foot on the right side of the gate, 5 to 3, and the French team lost the chance to play the final round.
Italy wins the World Cup!
“Congratulations Italy!!!”
"They won the 2006 World Cup in Germany and they are about to lift the Hercules Cup, the top honor in football!"
"This is the fourth time in the history of Italy to win the World Cup. This Italian team has lived up to the trust of the fans. Under the leadership of coach Lippi..."
"..."
In the constant sighs and praises of the commentators, the decisive battle of the world's focus came to an end.
The 2006 World Cup in Germany is officially over.
After the game, many media reported on Italy's victory, and Zidane and Materazzi also became the focus of the report. Many people believed that this was the turning point of the game, otherwise the French team would have a good chance to win.
At the same time, many media also sighed, "This time I was guessed by him again!" They were referring to Wansheng.
Wansheng said before that he is more optimistic about Italy, and at the same time, he also said that it is difficult for the two teams to decide the outcome in 90 minutes.
Sure enough, the game was exactly what he said!
In the surprise of Italian fans, various lottery winners, other fans and the media, Wansheng's reputation also rose a lot.
This summer, there are many professional players whose worth has risen a lot with the World Cup, but few people know that Wansheng is actually the one with the most lucrative gains. (To be continued ~^~)
