The Ball at Your Feet

The opponent in the next game is Pauletta.

In fact, to be precise, it should be said that the opponent in the next round is Bordeaux, and the core of Bordeaux is Pauletta.

But in the eyes of Deschamps, in addition to Pauletta, the other people in Bordeaux are really nothing to worry about.

But just such a group of people who are not concerned, under Pauletta's leadership, can form a team wandering in the European theater. If Pauletta is removed, they are at most a relegation team, but with Pauletta, no one in this team dares to ignore it.

In the French League, Pauletta's strength is far beyond any other shooter.

Pauletta was the top scorer in the French Ligue 1 in the 00-01 and 01-02 seasons. In the 02-03 season, he and Monaco's Roundup had been biting the top two in the scorer list. Zhao Yaning didn’t know. In the future, he will get second in the scorer list this season, and after moving to Paris, he once again won two league top scorers, becoming the person who has won the most Ligue 1 Golden Boots. Of course, there is another reason for this. It is because of the top scorers in Ligue 1, former South scorer Scobral, Argentinian shooter Bianchi, and the pinnacle of the top scorer in Ligue 1 history. The periods all coincide in the 1970s-and I have to mention that when they each won the top scorer of the league for three consecutive years, the second place in the Ligue 1 scorer list for three consecutive years was Lyon. Lacombe, the later manager, was the tragic figure who scored second in total goals in Ligue 1, but never won a golden boot in his life...

Pauletta is obviously much better than Lacombe. His age also includes Sonny Anderson, Cisse, Roundup, and Fred, who gradually emerged, and even he met Benze in his later years. It is not easy for horses to achieve such results in the competition.

Ligue 1 officials once awarded the two highest level foreign players in Ligue 1 to thank them for their ability to go to a better league but voluntarily stay in Ligue 1 and made outstanding contributions to the Ligue 1 league. Of these two men, one is Juninho who has entered the Ballon d'Or squad for three times, won the championship for seven consecutive years, and reached the knockout stage of the Champions League for seven years, and the other is the Portuguese striker, Pauletta the Azores eagle.

"This is an opponent that can't be described too much."

Deschamps has a high evaluation of him. Although he has the idea of ​​motivating players, it is indeed because Pauletta has enough ability.

Zhao Yaning only started to understand Pauletta after arriving in France. Before that, because he didn't think about the first match, he just occasionally cared about Portugal's results during the competition. He didn't know Pauletta. Under the media, he even felt that Pauletta's performance was not as good as Gomez. After all, in 2000, Gomez scored consecutive goals against England and France, and there were more highlight moments. In addition to Pauletta, he scored a goal against the Dutch defender in the preliminaries of the 2002 World Cup and scored a goal in the World Cup. Apart from the hat-trick against Poland, there are not many highlights, but rather soft. But after arriving in France, he understood why Pauletta would be valued in the Portuguese national team.

A league that maintains 20 goals all the year round, has comprehensive skills, excellent professionalism, and outstanding goals, and a striker who has scored less than double digits in the league all year round, but only occasionally bursts in important matches as a striker, as long as the coach is not a fool. , Will make their own choices. Not to mention, even for the national team’s goal rate, Pauletta’s 0.53 goals per game are much higher than Gomez’s 0.37 goals per game.

It can be said that apart from handsome looks, there is almost no place where Gomez can beat Pauleta...

"The characteristics of this player are also easy to explain. He can do almost everything and has all abilities. He has the ball, passing, attacking, shooting, passing, and organizing. Any ability is superb. How to fight against him, It’s a very difficult question."

In fact, if Zhao Yaning can know the period in a few years, then he can also find Pauletta a similar person: Van Persie. The technical level of the two people is similar, their status in the team is similar, and even the performance gap between the national team and the club is the same. However, Pauletta is not as tall as Van Persie, not as strong as Van Persie, and slightly inferior in physical fitness, but compared to Van Persie, Pauletta's persistent high efficiency and high attendance rate are enough to make the old patient Van Persie ashamed and dying.

"For his defense, you must be strict and there must be no flaws. You must understand that this is Pauletta, the best scorer in Ligue 1. Chris, don't want that expression, you should understand that you and Pauletta How big a gap there is, it’s impossible to unconsciously."

Roundup shrugged, which he knew in his heart. Although the two are about the same when it comes to the number of goals, compared to football skills and awareness, the gap between him and Pauletta is far too big.

"Don't underestimate him because of his performance in the national team... Van Basten has never scored a goal in the World Cup. He is still the first center forward. In the game, we must have the belief in winning, the confidence to win, and even more. Pay attention to the enemy."

No one dared to ignore Pauletta, but no one thought that Monaco still surrendered his first defeat after the winter break in this game.

Bordeaux defended almost the entire game. And the difference from Auxerre is that for Bordeaux, torture defense has long become a habit of them. Their line of defense is so old that almost everyone is crowded near the penalty area, which makes Monaco always useless. Although they gave Monaco room for long shots and also allowed Monaco to get a lot of free kicks, it is clear that Zhao Yaning, who is best at free kicks and long shots in Monaco, was not in a very good state this day. None of the shots were able to successfully pose a threat.

Compared to them, Bordeaux's offensive moves are much more efficient. In the whole game, they only passed the ball to the front court once, but this time, Pauletta was on the edge of the penalty area, facing two defensive players, turned around and shot the ball into Monaco’s. door.

"There is nothing unacceptable to lose to Pauletta. The one who defeated us is after all the most outstanding shooter in Ligue 1. If we lose to them, what can we say?"

Deschamps has always heard something about the media. He did not accuse his opponents of being too conservative in tactics, nor did he blame his players for playing too badly, but just praised Pauletta, not mentioning that after the defeat of the game, Monaco's points were once again chased by Lyon. One point left.

But his approach made the players of Monaco feel guilty. In the next game, they were even more motivated. And Le Havre, who hit their hands at this time, became unlucky.

In this game, Zhao Yaning also broke out again. The last time he faced Le Havre, his stupid foul left the field early, which made the team fail to do all the work. In this game, Zhao Yaning finally recovered his face. He has been in the whole game. Constantly impacting Le Havre's defense line, making Le Havre's entire team miserable.

In this game, Zhao Yaning was obviously lucky. In the 17th minute, he knocked on Le Havre's door with a long shot from the front of the penalty area.

"Zhao Yaning's ninth goal this season! Unbelievable! Before the start of this season, we were still wondering whether Asian players could adapt to the Ligue 1 game, but Zhao Yaning gave us the answer with his performance! Nine goals The ball! This is a level that many team forwards do not have. His number of goals in Monaco is second only to the main center Nunda and midfielder Jiuli. With this goal, his number of goals has surpassed Pulseau. , Became Monaco’s third scorer. We have to admit that this player is definitely one of the best players in Ligue 1."

The narrator's words were even more accurate in the second half. In the 51st minute, Zhao Yaning cut through the bottom line and made a return pass to Nongda to expand the score again. In the 87th minute, Zhao Yaning used the opportunity of a set kick to pass the ball to Squelach and Jeans. Quillach scored with a header to lock the score to 3:0.

"Unbelievable performance! Zhao Yaning used his outstanding performance to let people know how lucky it is for Monaco to have him. Now there are seven rounds in the game, Zhao Yaning has nine goals and eight assists, if luck If it's good, he can even become a player with more than ten goals and assists. Even for a winger, this data is enough to make people feel amazing."

The stats of the breakthrough hand will be much better than the players in other positions. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is rarely used to evaluate how a winger is. But having said that, there are exceptions. If the data really reaches the goal and assists double double ten, then it is recognized as a good player~www.ltnovel.com~ Of course, this view also has individual circumstances, such as Lille in the future. The team’s winger Gervinho was bought by Arsenal after he hit double ten in Ligue 1, but what they didn’t expect was that Gervinho could barely do anything except dribble. When he got there, he The performance is so bad that people can't bear to look straight...

But Zhao Yaning will not face this situation after all. At his age, playing football of this level is already very satisfying.

"Listening to the home team fans booing him, he knows that he is now a star-level player. The only question now is that this player will be able to get the best rookie of the season in Ligue 1 after the end of this season. Awards?"

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

It is not only the commentator who has such a question. In the dressing room of the Monaco team, everyone has also started to argue about this issue.

"The best rookie of this season must be Joey!" It was Squillach who said this. "His expression is obvious to all. The numbers really don't mean anything, but Joey has about ten assists. Lionel Matisse is all zero eggs! And let alone Joey is not the core of the team, Auxerre has Cisse, Capo, and Matisse is also not the core of the team!"

"Have you forgotten that there is another Mex who is also a competitor?" Roundup asked rhetorically. "He is hot right now."

"His defensive ability is just that, if it weren't for my age, I would be able to compare him with my performance." Squelach scolded, "Ludovic, tell me, who do you think Will it be the best newcomer?"

"Should I say?" Jiuli raised his head. "I think Joey has no chance at all."

These words made Zhao Yaning suddenly raised his head, "Why?"
