The Ball at Your Feet

The roundup celebration didn't last long, and the game continued. Monaco's thinking still hasn't changed much, but Zhao Yaning and Roten did not insert too deeply near the bottom line. They both attracted attention from the position of the side, but they did not insert too much.

Although they did not discuss it, they all felt that the game should be handed over to Nongda and Jiuli. Both of them have experienced two years of finals. At that time, Monaco lost to Lyon and missed the championship. But this time, Rothen and Zhao Yaning both wanted Jiuli and Nongda to get their face back.

Especially Jiuli, because he just lost the election a few days ago, it was just the anger and the time to vent.

The atmosphere created by the teammates for the two of them is indeed good enough.

On the right side, Zhao Yaning attracted a full-back, midfielder and a central defender alone. His non-stop running to the center made Sochow a lot of noise. Rotten’s long pass is their most effective source of ammunition. As Ligue 1’s assist king, Rotten’s timing and passing skills have benefited Nongda and Jiuli a lot.

This style of play really gives Monaco a great advantage.

Zhao Yaning held the ball, made a fake move to the left, then pushed the ball to the right and followed him. His intention to break through the wing was seen through by Sochaux's players. Two people went one after the other, one blocked his way forward, and the other blocked his inner cutting line.

Zhao Yaning did not try to force a breakthrough. He turned around abruptly, ran back two steps, and then directly kicked the ball into the penalty area.

Roundup did not fight for the first point and the ball was headed to the center. After receiving the ball, Jiuli took only one step and gave the ball to Roten on the side.

After Roten received the ball, he immediately passed a long pass to the penalty area.

The same long pass, Roten's pass is much better than Zhao Yaning's. His long pass was received by Roundup, but Sochaux's defender watched closely, Roundup barely turned around and hit the goal, the ball was saved by the goalkeeper.

Corner kick.

"Just play like this, we will always win." Jiuli patted the teammates who were in front of him, still not forgetting to say a few more words.

And Roten's corner kick kicked high.

The arc is very large, and also very high. This is a ball for a late point. Zhao Yaning quickly made a judgment. He ran to the outside of the penalty area. He knew that he couldn't get the header, so he might as well go outside.

Standing at the back point, Zicos scrambled for the header, but his header was punched out of the penalty area by the goalkeeper. Zhao Yaning grabbed the first point, he didn't hesitate much, and just shot a long shot.

It's just that there are too many people in the penalty area. Zhao Yaning's shot was blocked outside the penalty area without knowing who it hit.

This time, it was Jiuli who received the ball. He took a step to the left, and when he separated the crowd, he made a sudden push and the ball rushed through the gap against the ground, and fell into the goal before the goalkeeper could react.

"Goal!!!!!! Jiuli's wonderful shooting! The long use of his superb shooting skills let us see his value as the core player of the Monaco team. His existence is still the most critical factor for Monaco's victory. He exists. Monaco is the best team in Ligue 1!"

The narrator’s words were clearly aimed at Jiuli’s transfer during this period of time. But let's not say that Jiuli couldn't hear these words, even if he could hear them, he wouldn't care.

He ran to his teammates, hugging and celebrating with his teammates one by one. For him, the current game is more important.

Not long after the start of the second half, the score changed again.

After Roten gave the ball to Jiuli's feet, Jiuli did not immediately go forward, but dribbled the ball to the side, and then gestured for Zhao Yaning to cooperate with him. Zhao Yaning ran a few steps forward and received Jiuli's pass, and Jiuli ran towards the ribs of the penalty area. Zhao Yaning passed the ball with one kick, and he ran towards the top of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Jiuli passed the ball to Zhao Yaning. After two simple passes, Zhao Yaning was already at the top of the penalty area, facing the goal head-on.

Kick, prepare, shoot...

Facing the defender's flying block, Zhao Yaning's shot turned into a smash, and then he knocked the ball out of the instep and kicked the ball to Nongda in the penalty area.

Roundup received the ball, adjusted a step, and kicked the ball into the goal!

"I don't have the strength to shout. The third goal in this game is made. Monaco's overall situation is set." The commentator teased Monaco, "If they play like this, then this game will really be a massacre. Up."

But things did not develop in that direction. After scoring three goals, Monaco also began to converge on the offensive. They know very well that after this game, they still have two games to play.

And this score has been maintained until the end of the game.

"Monaco won! Monaco won the French League Cup! A great victory, a great champion! This is the first French League Cup in the history of the Monaco team and the first championship since Deschamps coached. Let us pay our respects to Deschamps. In his hands, another team playing beautiful football has won!"

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

"To be honest, this trophy is really ugly."

Sitting in the car on the return journey, Zhao Yaning was still playing with the French League Cup trophy in his hand.

After all, the French League Cup is not a trophy with a high degree of attention. Although Monaco won the championship, the awards were only given to the upper level of the professional football association, and the awards were awarded on the side of the stadium. Compared with the French Cup in which the president is present in person to award the prize, the League Cup is really not enough to inspire any waves.

Even the questions raised after the game and the media targeting were more of the long-distance races between Monaco and Lyon and the Champions of the League Cup. They didn't take it seriously.

In fact, Deschamps himself didn't take it seriously. But he still knows very well that this kind of contempt can't let the players know that he didn't let the players attend the press conference after the game, just to keep the players in a positive mood. In the long-distance running of the league championship, an unexpected surprise can greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of the players.

It is precisely because of Deschamps’ handling that he returned to Monaco overnight to prepare for the next game on the bus. The players were still enthusiastically discussing the matter of winning the championship, and no one thought about the media’s questions about the league.

What Zhao Yaning said at this time was aimed at this weird trophy.

This trophy looks like a standard hemisphere in the base of the lower part, but the trophy part of the upper part is a metal plate hovering to form the shape of the cup.

Such a trophy always makes Zhao Yaning feel very strange.

"I also always feel that this kind of spiral-shaped thing always makes me think." Roten took the trophy and fiddled with it. "I think you are the same, this kind of big end and the small end. Spiral things are still this yellow and orange color—you should know what I’m talking about, it’s not ice cream anyway."

"Can you be sicker?" everyone in the car scolded. But this also proves that each of them also associates with that kind of thing.

Deschamps, who was sitting in front, just smiled and said nothing.

"Coach, don't you care if this guy says that? Did we come here to compete for the sake of something?" Roundup did not forget to provoke Deschamps.

"But that trophy is really ugly." Deschamps shrugged. "When I held it in my hand, I was still thinking about who made such a tasteless thing. When we played, it was not so. Tasteless trophy."

The French League Cup is a cup competition in France that began in the 94-95 season. Deschamps has already gone to Juventus that season. He has never played in the League Cup.

"Moreover, I hope that after you have won the championship, you will treat it as a lump." Deschamps turned his head. "I don't think it is a big deal to call this champion a lump. This champion is Ours, our things, we naturally say what we want. Those who point to the champions that they can’t win say: That’s a tuo~www.ltnovel.com~ The kind of people are sad and deplorable. But. What's the big deal when someone who has won this championship says it's a pile?"

"But after all, this is the championship we worked hard to win." Nongda muttered, lowering his head.

"Honor is like a woman. Before you get it, she is very attractive. You can love her and go crazy, but after you get it, if you are still addicted to this woman, then you are a fool." Deschamps waved his hand. "The more you care about her, the less she cares about you. The more you indulge in the beauty of the past, the less you have the courage to create your own future. Therefore, you would rather treat them as a lump. The more Ignore what you have now, and you will look forward to the future even more."

"But it sounds like it is for us to throw away all the honors we finally got." Roten also scratched his head this time. "Then we're in vain?"

"You are a star, and you don’t need to remember your honor. The media, reporters, your agent, and other messy people will remember them clearly. What you need to do now is to play well. Strive for more things for yourself." Deschamps laughed, "Alexander the Great gave all his belongings to his men, but he left his hopes to himself. What you have to do now is to give honor and praise to others, and hope Keep it to yourself."

"What are you going to do then, to conquer Asia?" Roten glanced at Zhao Yaning and teased him. "This task is not challenging. Joey can represent us all alone."

"Alexander wants to conquer Asia because he has already conquered Europe. And you, you haven't even conquered France yet." Deschamps stretched out his finger and pointed around, "If you want to prove yourself, then, first Let France succumb to your feet!"
