The Ball at Your Feet

Before the game against Lyon has begun, the tense atmosphere has already condensed over the entire Monaco. After all, this game is a key battle that can determine the ownership of the championship. Compared with other competitions, this kind of competition for the top is always necessary. More eye-catching.

"The loser is out"-"Team Daily" directly used such comments to describe the importance of this game. They speak this way, and they have a good reason: if Monaco fails, the difference between them and Lyon will become four points. Such a difference, plus Monaco still has a cup to play, is almost a sentence of Monaco. death penalty.

And if Lyon loses, even if they win the championship, they will have no face: a team that has been double-killed by the second home and away team, even if it wins the championship, it is not obtained by abuse of food, say it. What's the face?

This view is almost the view of the entire French football community. Although everyone has different opinions on which team can win, in the end everyone is unanimously affirmed that the winner of this game will have a greater chance of becoming the last of the season. The big winner.

And this game also attracted a large number of fans. The stadium tickets for 18,000 people in Monaco were sold out of stock early, and Lyon’s largest fan organization, the ‘Bad Boys’ organization, called an away fan group of nearly 3,000 people to watch the game.

"This will be the most unmissable battle of this season."

The TV station also made high expectations for this game, and they even invited a heavyweight commentator: George Weah.

After leading the Libya team to the World Cup qualifiers as the head coach in 2001, it is difficult for George Weah to lead the team to make a breakthrough. And because of rumors that he was running for president, some people in Libya followed him, and he had to take refuge in France. Although he has repeatedly stated that he has no political thoughts, there are still people who insist that he stand up as the president of Libya and lead Libya to end the war and move towards peace.

In this case, he is more than just a football figure. It is indeed not easy for him to stand up and explain the game.

But even so, the real most important guest is not him: in order to make this game go smoothly, French football invited Corina from Italy to enforce the game.

Sometimes when encountering some important matches in the Ligue 1 league, it is used to invite good referees from abroad to enforce the law, so as not to be questioned about the fairness of the game. In this game, Corina, an idol in the refereeing circle, was invited from Italy, just to prevent any mistakes in the game. As a referee for more than 20 years, Collina has always been synonymous with strict law enforcement, fairness and fairness. He enforces the game and can prevent both servers from complaining about the unfairness of the game.

And they are not the only ones preparing for this game. Zhao Yaning also asked Beibei to stay at home and not go to the scene. "Don't go to the scene to watch the game. It's too chaotic. The fans in Lyon are very enthusiastic, and it's a battle for the top spot. There is no benefit to going to the scene."

Beibei is pretty easy to say, but Zhao Yaning's father is the real trouble. He has a very keen interest in going to the scene to watch the focus battle. But Zhao Yaning resolutely did not agree with him to go, and Zhang Yuan also sided with Zhao Yaning.

"What are the highlights of Lyon and Monaco playing the game? It's not a derby, and there is no grudge. When the Milan derby in April, let's go to the scene to watch the game, that's exciting. Let's not go to the scene for this game, save it. Add chaos to Ning Zi."

Zhang Yuan's words persuaded Zhao Yaning's father, but he still had some yearning, "This Ligue 1 focus battle should also be very exciting, right?"

"Who knows." Zhao Yaning shook his head.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that this game was sure to be fierce, but to say it was exciting, it might be really hard to say.

Lyon is not Paris, they don't bother to play the gorgeous football of Paris. Lyon's style of playing has become more and more simple and rude since changing coaches this season. Their habit is to use their muscles to play against each other, playing in the most fierce way, and in the simplest way.

Simple, efficient, full of pressure, balanced offense and defense, no weak links, this is the most terrifying place in Lyon.

This kind of game, I'm afraid it won't be too good-looking. When Zhao Yaning went to the game, he was ready for a good fight.

As soon as the game started, Zhao Yaning realized that this was indeed an unprecedented battle.

---------------

The ball came to the foot, and the person flashed to the right. Zhao Yaning had been optimistic about the route while running, but Edmilson was not allowed to get close. After receiving the ball, he kicked the ball forward and forward, and then people quickly chased it. Go up.

But although Edmilson passed by, Cassappa had blocked in front of him, and rushed in mercilessly.

Turning around, protecting the ball, Zhao Yaning wanted to pass the ball to Panucci behind him. But Panucci was left behind by Govuka, and Giuli had also been interrupted by Edmilson's running route. Zhao Yaning's ball could not be passed at all.

And at this moment, Cassapa slammed into him, making him stagger, and the ball had been snatched by Cassapa.

This is not the first time this has been intercepted. Zhao Yaning was slightly angry. Being flanked by two people is not a big deal for him. He is used to being flanked by two or three people in the game. For him, it is not a terrible thing.

But the problem is that there are prerequisites for doing so. Zhao Yaning likes to play football, relying on his own high speed to play fast-paced games. His advantage is speed and breakthrough ability. The competition situation becomes tense, but he has room to play a better role.

However, the pace of the game is slow, and in a well-positioned game, the weakness of his passing and receiving becomes more obvious, especially when the contact point is looked upon to death, his performance will be more difficult.

Once coupled with high confrontation and frequent fouls, his performance will be even worse. Since this season, it is difficult to perform when encountering a muscular man, which is already his biggest problem.

In normal times, he can also rely on the assistance of his teammates to solve this problem, and the tactics that coach Deschamps formulated for Monaco were originally a fast-paced game tactic of fast passing and fast attack. Bernardi's fast delivery in the midfield, the speed of Giuly and Zhao Yaning, coupled with the cooperation of full-backs, is Monaco's speed so that other teams in Ligue 1 can't catch up.

But when it comes to Lyon, this tactic is difficult to work out. Lyon can’t match Monaco in speed, but they don’t have rapid technical ability. At the same time, they have better hardness and physical fitness. They can suppress the rhythm of the game, use a slower rhythm, and a stronger body to fight. Monaco can't make a quick raid, so the overall situation of the game will be controlled by them.

Another advantage of Monaco is that their players have great advantages in local areas. Zhao Yaning's breakthrough ability and Roten's long passing ability are rare in Ligue 1. But now, Zhao Yaning is surrounded by the divisions of Gowu, Edmilson and Cassapa, blocking the breakthrough space and the ability to pass the ball, and Rothen is pressed by Diarra, and there is no room for passing. This kind of play completely paralyzed Monaco's wings.

"Zhao Yaning now seems to be stuck in a quagmire and can't break through. Regon's measures to encircle him are very effective, and Monaco's offensive has been completely blocked." Thierry exclaimed a few words, this kind of tactical cooperation As a commentator, he is most happy to see that players are restricted. "Regon's tactical ability is still stronger than Deschamps. The targeted measures in this game are obviously very good restrictions. Monaco's performance ~www.ltnovel.com~ is still not good at Roundup." Weah waved to the side, "If I were in front, this game would not be so troublesome. Give the ball to me, others. Don't worry about it."

"How many years do you have a player like you." Thierry shook his head helplessly, "Of course Roundup is much worse than you."

Indeed, when Nongda debuted, although he was considered an all-around striker, his skills did not improve much over a long period of time. Today, he relies more on explosive power, ability to grab points, smell and shooting skills in the penalty area. At this time, if he has the ability to pick up, Monaco will play a lot better, but he But there is no such ability.

"Nonda's ability is actually very good, his running and shooting skills can give him a certain advantage, but the problem is that when facing the Lyon team, because Regon knows him, his running characteristics are completely He can't play it out, which makes his role less." Thierry still remembers that it was Regon, the head coach of the Rennes club, who dug Roundup to Ligue 1 back then. "The last half of the season At that time, Lyon faced Monaco at home and was defeated cleanly by Monaco. In the second half of the season, Lyon, who played away, had the advantage on the field. It has to be said that Regon played a big role in it."

"Advantage alone has no effect. After all, advantage is not victory. If the two are equal, Marseille will have two Champions Leagues."

Weah still supports Monaco. When speaking, he also thinks of Monaco more.

At this time, beside the stadium, Deschamps also stood up.

"Coach Deschamps seems to be about to make adjustments at this time." Thierry said, "Just call Zhao Yaning and Jiuli around at the same time. What adjustment does he want to make?"
