The Ball at Your Feet

Because playing with Ronaldinho all night, Zhao Yaning was rarely late for training the next day, and his performance in training also made Coach Petit not very satisfied.

However, Coach Petit did not criticize him too much for this. After all, in yesterday's game, Zhao Yaning played very well.

In the score given by the "Team Daily", Zhao Yaning scored 7.5 points, which is the highest score of the entire Monaco team. The "Team Daily" comment directly pointed out that Zhao Yaning's outstanding performance was the main reason for Monaco's victory.

It's just a pity that the best in the audience is not Zhao Yaning. His defensive mistake made his performance much worse, and Ronaldinho's beautiful goal earned him an 8-point post-match rating.

"After this game, we can be sure of only one thing: What Paris lacks is not capital, not tactics, but appropriate business philosophy. Ronaldinho, who was shining in the game, was blocked by Monaco. Well, his teammates could hardly help him. And Zhao Yaning, the best performer in Monaco, was sold to Monaco during the summer in Paris. It is unforgivable for Paris to make such a serious mistake in the transfer. of."

The most commented on "Team" is still Paris Saint-Germain. Although Zhao Yaning's performance is very eye-catching, but for the French media, he is just giving the media a topic to continue to mock Paris Saint-Germain. For his performance, "Team Daily" only mentioned a problem in one section.

"After the half-time, we can almost confirm that the most outstanding young players in Ligue 1 are Auxerre’s Mex, Lionel Matisse, and Monaco’s Zhao Yaning and Evra. These four people. Among them, the most outstanding performer is obviously Zhao Yaning. He has shown a higher ability and potential than others. But whether he can become the best rookie of the year is still a huge question. The biggest problem lies in the French Ligue 1 All the previous rookies of the season are French players. If foreign players want to rely on their performance to steal this honor, they must have an extremely good performance. I don’t know if Zhao Yaning can continue to perform well in the second half of the season, thus becoming the first French player to win. A foreign aid for the best rookie."

"Team Daily" has always been known for its fairness, and it is even considered unkind. But even the most impartial "Team Daily", on this issue, has to be more of its own players. They came out early on Zhao Yaning's ability to compete for the best rookie in Ligue 1, and the purpose is to make other players work harder.

But Coach Petit doesn't care much about it. He has taught three best rookies. Of course, there is no need to mention Trezeguet. Although Kristanval played in Barcelona as a parallel importer, he was also good. He knows that this kind of selection depends on performance in the final analysis. If the performance is not good, it is useless to say anything.

However, in the next round of competition, Zhao Yaning's performance is not expected. Therefore, due to the accumulation of foul yellow cards, Zhao Yaning will not be able to play the next round against Marseille. For him, the first half of the Ligue 1 season ended early.

This year’s Ligue 1 is the first season after the restructuring, so there are some problems in the schedule: before the winter break, each team will play 20 games, and in the second half of the season. Only eighteen games remain. The opponent of Monaco's last game was the Marseille team, which was also a tough battle.

In this game, Zhao Yaning could only watch the game over from the stands.

The result of this game was a very helpless boring. Monaco still did not win the third game of the Blue Coast Derby this season. The only relief is that Lyon, who is at the top of the list, only got a tie, and the difference between the two teams has not been widened.

After this game, the winter break of Ligue 1 finally came.

Half a season later, the Monaco team had 20 matches, nine wins, nine draws and two losses. With 36 points, Monaco ranked second in the standings. This result exceeded everyone's expectations.

Lyon is still better than them, with 20 wins, ten wins, seven draws and three losses, with 36 points, ranking ahead of Monaco.

This makes the Monaco players quite disappointed. Although the half-time championship is not a great thing, it can make people happy for a while.

Behind Monaco is Paris Saint-Germain. They had 20 matches, nine wins, five draws and six losses, and they ranked third with 32 points.

Although they all seem to be similar, in fact there are some differences in the deep level.

Although Paris Saint-Germain has a big gap with the top two, after all, they played too poorly during the period before the winter break. They lost five games and four draws. Otherwise, they should be the first in the league.

Although Lyon seems to be only one point higher than Monaco, in the first half of the season, their games against Marseille and Paris were all away games, and they were all lost and tied. In the second half of the season, Lyon, who returned to home, would definitely not be so. Embarrassed-For two seasons, Lyon has only lost one game to Monaco at home. Last season, Lyon scored 16 wins in 17 games at home. The only one to draw against them was their own fraternity club Lille.

Although Monaco seems to have a lot of points, there are also a lot of problems: they have too many draws, and it is a big problem to see their results.

Insufficient tackling ability, many of the wins that should be won have not been won, which is considered to be the biggest problem of Monaco.

However, in the second half of the season, they are not hopeless. Ligue 1 has a long offseason, from November 21st to December 10th, a three-week offseason. For a team like Monaco that lacks physical fitness due to insufficient bench depth A great advantage, not to mention that most of the players in Monaco are not the main players of the national team. In this winter, many players in Lyon and Paris have to return to their national team to play, and the whole Monaco team needs to rush back. In the national team, there are only a limited number of players such as Pulsau, which is more beneficial to their physical strength.

What is particularly gratifying to Deschamps is that Zhao Yaning does not have the task of a national team game during the winter break. Although the Chinese team has to play a game with Catalonia United during the winter break, because Catalonia United is not a national team after all, this game is not a national team A-level event, so Zhao Yaning was not selected for the national team squad this time.

In fact, Zhao Yaning didn't reject this game very much: after all, the game was played in Barcelona, ​​Spain, and he didn't have to travel long distances back to the country to compete, so he wouldn't be too tired. And there are also many stars in the Catalonia United team. It is said that the former Barcelona captain Guardiola, as well as the current Barcelona stars Puyol, Xavi and others will play the game. Zhao Yaning originally wanted to take advantage of this, to play a game with Guardiola, by the way, see what star card he would have. But then I think about it, the nature of this game is just a friendly game. Even if you go, you won't get a black card or a white card. This kind of game doesn't matter if you don't play it.

Rather than wasting that time, it is better to think about the benefits in the past period of time.

At the end of the first half of the season, Zhao Yaning's results were actually pretty good.

In the first half of the season, he played 14 league games, scored six goals, and contributed six assists.

The results alone are indeed good, but out of the six goals, only three are sports goals, and the other three are two free kicks and one penalty kick.

Going in three sports matches in 14 games, it looks pretty good. Although there has always been a consensus among everyone: assault handball has the most rights, and their data must be watery.

Zhao Yaning is a winger after all, and no one asks him to kick the efficiency of the center forward. What's more, he is already the fourth most scoring player in the team. In front of him are the main striker Roundup, the team's core Giuly and the golden substitute Pulsau.

What's more, scoring two free kicks in half a season is already a lot. Even Juninho, the recognized free kick master, has only scored four free kicks in the past half-season.

And if there is any taint, he still has a red card. Although this is not caused by a malicious foul, it is not something to be proud of to receive a red card as a technical player.

Zhao Yaning himself was very satisfied with this half-season, but Zhang Yuan couldn't help shaking his head with this result.

"You said that you have the longest time on the court and the most number of passes. Why are you inferior to others when it comes to shooting and assists? Look at Rothen, the number of passes is less than half of yours, but the assists... …"

"My tactical awareness is not good." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "Six goals are already a lot, what else do you want?"

"I hope you can get the first place in a certain stat in the team. No matter whether you have a shot or an assist, it's good. But you happen to have only one extraordinary stat that is the first. This thing looks very good. It’s easy to make people think that you play too alone."

Zhao Yaning smiled and ignored him.

"You know that China's most goals scored in the Bundesliga, 8 goals in 23 games. And those 8 people are real sports goals, your sports goals are a bit shivering..."

"His goal is still in the Bundesliga."

Zhao Yaning retorted disapprovingly.

Having played in France for a long time, he has also been contaminated with some of the French perception habits. In the eyes of the French, all the statistics of the Bundesliga are mixed and do not have any reference value. Although Zhao Yaning would not think so, but he also felt that the Bundesliga data does have certain problems.

There are 18 teams in the Bundesliga. It stands to reason that there are fewer matches and fewer goals, but their number of goals is far ahead of other leagues every year, not just the number of goals, passes, assists, and interceptions. It seems that they are not at the same level as other leagues in all aspects.

But what about the facts? In the eyes of the French, the Bundesliga data is of little reference value. For example, the outstanding players of the Bundesliga can average six times per game in the domestic league, but in the Champions League, they can't even reach twice...

This kind of situation makes the French look down on the Germans: What's the point of talking about how good a player is behind closed doors?

"What you said makes sense in France, but at home, they don't care so much, they are all collectively referred to as the five major leagues."

Zhang Yuan also has his own complaints about this.

The various statistics of Ligue 1 are among the lowest in all of Europe.

The number of goals here is always the bottom of the five leagues, and the number of assists is generally the bottom. Exceeding figures, interception figures are quite a few, but unless it is a football fan~www.ltnovel.com~ who would use various statistics to calculate the strength of his team every day?

Zhang Yuan can't wait for the Ligue 1 to count like the Bundesliga. If that's the case, Zhao Yaning's data will definitely be better.

"If you score more goals, we can tout you as the core of the Monaco team. But now your number of goals and assists are not up, and this touted, it can only be said that you are not data. The eukaryote that embodies its function, this kind of eukaryote, after all, is easy to say and not to sound.

Zhao Yaning just smiled at this, "What's the big deal. Anyway, the domestic newspapers have taken your benefits, and you can let them write anything. If you didn't read it, I didn't even read the domestic newspapers." Huh? It's all nasty flattery, and it's disgusting at first."

Zhang Yuan doesn’t object to this statement, “It’s natural to buy the media, or let them scold you? They are looking for a topic, don’t you have to be scolded alive? You like being scolded, but I can’t control it, but it does. It hurts your business income."

Zhao Yaning shook his head and ignored Zhang Yuan's words, "In this case, you have already bought it, so what else can you praise? Just write it."

"But I can't buy some people." Zhang Yuan sighed, "In a few days, a team of reporters will interview you. Prepare yourself. People this time are not so easy to deal with."

"Who is it? Sports Weekly? Football Weekly? They are the only ones in China who can be named?" Zhao Yaning asked rhetorically.

"It's not a sports program." Zhang Yuan shook his head. "The interview with you was a public welfare program of CCTV. This is a newly created event of CCTV. What is the name?"

Zhang Yuan scratched his head for a long time before thinking about the name of the show, "By the way, it is called Moving China. You have been selected as one of the ten people who moved China in 2002."
