Chapter 132 The Miracle of Les Herbies
At the end of the French Cup semi-finals, Caen lost 1:4 to Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain successfully advanced to the French Cup final, and they will compete with Les Herbiers for the final championship.
There is never a shortage of dark horses in the football circle, and in this season's French Cup, Les Herbiers is a dark and bright dark horse.
Les Herbies is a small city in France with only 15,000 people. Although the Les Herbies Football Club was founded in 1919, only one year away from the century-old club, the Les Herbies team has been lingering in the French low-level leagues all year round.
In the 2015/2016 season, Les Herbiers was promoted to France 3 for the first time. This season, they had 8 wins, 12 draws and 9 losses in France 3. After 29 rounds, they only ranked 9th in France 3. However, such a "rookie" team has made great progress in the French Cup, including eliminating traditional strong teams such as Auxerre and Lens and advancing to the final.
People are amazed at the toughness of this team. As a French third team, it has passed all the way and stood at the pinnacle of France.
There are no fairy tales in life, but at this moment, fairy tales are truly staged.
Times make heroes, Les Herbies makes miracles.
Their promotion benefited from their own efforts and the good luck of signing on the way to promotion.
They performed the charm of unpopularity and grassroots counterattack to the extreme, and their drama is not inferior to the FA Cup.
In the end, they pulled off the pinnacle of France and are about to face Paris Saint-Germain, known as the French Galaxy battleship, with Yi Le, Neymar and other superstars.
The final will be held at the Stade de France in May.
The rookie Les Herbier also received a lot of support.
Under the premise that the Champions League is not involved, the support of Paris has continued to decline. What the romantic French fans look forward to most is not the continuation of the hegemony, but a grassroots counterattack.
Therefore, in the online voting, the number of fans almost showed that Paris Saint-Germain, which was crushed, fell into a disadvantage.
68% vs. 32%!
A large number of French fans voted for Les Herbiers, and some people even cheered and shouted through the online media: Rookie, go and overthrow Paris!
Although French fans know that facing Paris, Les Herbiers has a small chance of winning, but they still enjoy it.
And under this trend, Les Herbier has made a big splash.
Especially their young midfielder, Van Barlehen, has received a lot of attention. I heard that Juventus has sent scouts to observe this young player.
The French sports media also began to pay attention to this young player, and conducted an exclusive interview for this.
Van Baallegen was somewhat restrained, after all, the French media giant L'Equipe was interviewing him this time.
The Ligue 3 team doesn’t have much exposure, and Les Herbiers is also a small team. The biggest interview Van Gaallehen ever received was an exclusive interview with a small-town newspaper. Only those powerful players are eligible to be interviewed.
"Good morning!" The reporter asked with a smile.
Van Baallehen said nervously, "Hello!"
"Don't be nervous." The reporter smiled and comforted, and then went straight to the topic: "The French Cup final will be played soon, do you feel pressure?"
"There's a lot of pressure!" Van Baallehen swallowed and said, "After all, our opponent is Paris Saint-Germain, they are really strong!"
"But many people support you!"
"What's the use of that? Strength and support are not the same thing!"
The reporter couldn't help laughing, and said: "You are about to face Yi. As the number one midfielder in Europe at this stage, do you want to prove yourself in front of him?"
Van Gaalle Heng said seriously: "This is the expectation of many people. I think every European midfielder wants to prove himself in front of Yi.
But there are very few who can really do this step, you know, he is like a monster. "
"Are you scared?"
"It can also be said that, after all, even our head coach told me to retreat as much as possible in the next game and not fight with Yi Yi. He is afraid that I will be kicked and collapsed!" Van Gaal let out helplessly. Karate.
"How do you rate Yi?"
"He is a very good athlete. He is self-disciplined, strong, and hard-working. There seems to be no stain on him. I can compete with him. This has always been my goal, but I never thought it would be so Quick. Actually, I’m a fan of Yi, and a lot of times, I’m trying to imitate the way he plays, but it’s so hard.”
"You're Yi's fan? Oh shit.. I think Yi will let it go!"
"No!" Van Gaal shook his head and said; "He would never do that. I follow every game of his. If someone claims to be his fan before the game, that person will definitely be taught a bad lesson. He seems to like to abuse Your own fans!"
"But on the other hand, he is showing respect for the other party!"
"Yes, therefore, I want to see a Yi who goes all out, and I want to know how far I am from him!"
"You'll see!"
…
Inside Yi Le's villa.
Yi Le was training on the treadmill, and Mbappé and Neymar were reading newspapers together.
When they saw Van Gaallehen's interview, Neymar couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "He's done!"
Mbappe grinned too. As a fan of Yi Le, it was an extremely painful thing.
This means that Yi Le will use 100% of his strength to deal with this kind of game. The beauty is respect, but only the person involved knows what it will be.
Those with strong psychological endurance may be able to carry it through, but some whose psychological quality is not good enough may be kicked out of the shadows directly.
Anyway, Mbappe saw many players who claimed to be Yile fans. After the game, their expressions were dull, as if their souls had been sublimated.
Being a Yile fan is not a happy thing.
Because, you will be crazily abused by your idol, and the game situation can be called cruel.
The two didn't pay much attention to these, they didn't have much pressure on the French Cup.
Neymar turned the page and saw a huge headline on the main magazine.
"The two galactic battleships meet again, the Champions League semi-final Paris Saint-Germain VS Real Madrid!" "
"Our next opponent is Real Madrid!" Mbappe said quietly.
For the next opponent Real Madrid, Mbappe is very worried.
Although he understands that there are no big teams in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and they have a good record against Real Madrid after going through the group stage, he always has no idea.
After all, the man named Ronaldo is a bit too scary.
People never know when he will explode.
It has been a long time since the thighs of C thighs have completely exploded.
But he will never remain so silent. From the perspective of probability, his outbreak is approaching.
How terrifying is an explosive Ronaldo?
It can be seen from the game where Real Madrid played Atletico Madrid that Atletico Madrid clearly had the advantage and scored two goals first.
But after C's thigh exploded, he scored three goals in a row and directly kicked Atletico Madrid into a circle.
In terms of defense alone, there is still a gap between Paris and Atletico Madrid.
And Paris is a team that is good at attacking. Facing an explosive Ronaldo, they can only bite the bullet and play against each other.
The pressure is huge!
