The Ball at Your Feet

: 203 Boosting Morale

Having successfully won a championship, Monaco's morale soared, but they were once again praised by the media.

‘The victory of Monaco shows us how a mature team should play. This season, in Lyon, Marseille and other teams are using the excuse to reorganize the league, more games, and thus have given up the cup, Monaco's adherence to the cup is very commendable. This season, only a few teams such as Monaco, Paris and Auxerre still insist on multi-line combat. And now, they have received enough rewards for their efforts. ’

When Monaco won the French League Cup, the French Cup champion was also won by Auxerre. As a small French team, Auxerre doesn't have much money. They can win a French Cup championship, which is enough to make people feel surprised.

‘Facts have proved that persisting in multi-line combat after the restructuring of the league is not as difficult as imagined. Monaco has proved to us that those strong teams have enough confidence to fight on multiple fronts, and those teams that abandon the European war for their league results are a shame in Ligue 1. ’

‘And now, Monaco has another battlefield to welcome the final battle. In this battle, it is difficult to say who Monaco or Lyon can come to the end. Lyon has an advantage over points, but on the other hand, Monaco also has an advantage that Lyon can't match. They insisted on multi-line combat and never gave up the game due to lack of combat effectiveness. From this perspective, they have a stronger spirit. The long-distance running of this league is already a long-distance running of spirit. Monaco, which has better spiritual strength, is obviously stronger. It's still hard to tell who can hold on to the end of the two teams. ’

The praise of the media, on the one hand, is the hymn that the media sang to Monaco after Monaco won the championship. On the other hand, the race in this league is indeed becoming more and more difficult to determine who is the final winner.

Monaco is two points behind and Lyon has the lead. There are only two games left, and the outcome is still unpredictable. Although Lyon’s stability and strength in the final stages of the season has brought great pressure to Monaco, on the other hand, Monaco has been chasing after Lyon and has kept the point difference at two points. How can Lyon be? No pressure?

Lyon is the defending champion. They are also the most promising team to defend the championship in the past ten years. They did not sell a single person in the summer, and they also spent a lot of effort to sign up. They wanted to defend the title with great determination, but the whole season , They are constantly entangled with Monaco. Judging from the strength of Monaco's signings, the consequences are enough to make Lyon suspect that his football is on the wrong path.

And the recent period in Lyon has not been peaceful. Sony Anderson was unwilling to renew his contract, that is, after last year's Ococha, another Ligue 1 post player wanted to leave, which made the Lyon fans extremely dissatisfied. Also dissatisfied is Edmilson of Lyon. He was beaten into the cold by coach Regon because he was speaking for Sony Anderson, and he was not even allowed to play in the strong dialogue against Paris. At this stage, Lyon’s outstanding performance and coach Regon’s iron fist have suppressed the opposition within the team, but it is difficult to say whether there will be other problems in the final stage.

Monaco was at a disadvantage in the long-distance running of the league, but the League Cup champion gave them a shot in the arm. Although Monaco is still Monaco, there is not much improvement in strength, but this championship still makes their morale soar. In the final stage of the league, it is still a great help for them to persevere.

In the next game against Guingamp, Monaco really played his due momentum.

Guingamp has been playing well during this period, and their forward players Drogba and Malouda have been praised and recognized by everyone. Their results are also among the best, and it is even possible to fight for next year's European war qualifications.

But even so, in the first battle with Monaco, they are still not favored. Guingamp lost to Monaco by a big score in the first half of the season. Although they have a home advantage in this game, it is difficult to change.

Sure enough, as people expected before the season, Monaco scored the goal less than twenty minutes after the start of the game.

Bernardi made a long pass directly from the midfield. After being blocked by a defender, he was caught by Jiuli. He made a posture shot and lied to the defensive defender, then pushed the ball forward to the right. Zhao Yaning, who was running in response, crossed the ball and gave the ball into the penalty area.

"Gooooal!!!! Monaco led the away goal! In the first half of the season, Monaco staged a 4-0 massacre against Guingamp at home. In this game, will Monaco copy them? What about his victory?"

The players of Guingamp were a bit unwilling, but the players of Monaco didn't have any expressions of overjoy. In their view, Guingamp is just a team that has been slaughtered 4-0 by them. It should be beaten by them. There is nothing to celebrate.

What they are more concerned about now is whether Lyon will lose or tie one in the next two games. Monaco's current goal difference is only one difference from Lyon. If Lyon ties the game, Monaco will have a chance to take advantage of it.

Therefore, although they played very vigorously, they did not have much serious looks.

This expression makes Guingamp forward Drogba very dissatisfied.

"Get the ball and pass it directly to me, I will solve their defense." Drogba said to Malouda next to him, "Try to play the high ball, I can deal with their defense alone."

"Are you sure you can deal with that guy?" Malouda pointed to the restricted area. The two central defenders used by Monaco are Squillaci and Abidal, both of whom are tall and magnificent. Obviously, they are both in Drogba and they are also focused on defense.

Drogba looked at the backcourt, and after a long time he sighed bitterly-he knew very well that it was difficult for him to deal with those two guys. There were not many opportunities for Guingamp to fight Monaco. If he wasted a few more times, then there would be no chance at all.

It would be great if I could be in a better team. Drogba complained in his heart. If there is a stronger team behind me, a strong team like Monaco and Lyon, I can score more goals and also help the team.

Unfortunately, Monaco seems to have no money to sign up, and it is impossible to go to Monaco by yourself. On the flank of Lyon, there is an anti-aircraft gun player like Govu. What is more needed is an efficient shooter. Where should I go to get the full play?

After all, Guingamp is too young to tolerate his performance. Here, he could not become a person who attracted the attention of the whole of France, and even the whole of Europe. He needs a bigger stage.

Although Drogba is eager to win, but that can't reverse Guingamp's weak position. After thirty minutes of the game, Monaco scored their second goal.

Zhao Yaning dribbled the ball near the sideline, and after cutting into the penalty area, he shot past the defender and then passed the ball back to Jiuli. At this time, Jiuli did not choose to shoot, but cleverly took a pass and gave the ball to the penalty area. Nongda, who ran to the position, followed closely with a shot, which once again rewrote the score on the field.

"Gooooal!!!" the commentator yelled again, "The first half of the game is not over, Monaco is already two goals ahead. In Monaco's home game, Monaco defeated Gingamp by a big score. , And in this game, will Monaco also usher in a big score game?"

At the end of the first half of the game ~www.ltnovel.com~ Monaco was still 2:0, and after walking into the locker room, they saw Deschamps' somewhat pleased face.

"Guys, there is good news here." Deschamps looked at the players, with a smug and a sly smile on his face. "Lyon can't hold it anymore. They are 0:1 behind Stella in the away game. Fort."

This news immediately excited the Monaco players.

"Lyon, led by Strasbourg?" Giuli couldn't believe it. "It's incredible. I thought Lyon would never make any mistakes this season. They gave us such a huge surprise. Strasbourg? How did they get ahead of Lyon? Even Paris lost to Lyon."

"Perhaps it was Lyon's pride that made them make mistakes." Deschamps waved his fingers triumphantly. "So, guys, keep working hard. Maybe this game is what we have waited for a long time to win back. Opportunity for advantage."

"What else can I say?" Jiuli stood up, "In the second half of the game, let them know how good we are!"

Monaco said so and did so. Not long after the start of the second half, Monaco ushered in a new opportunity.

Monaco got the opportunity of a free kick about 30 meters from the goal. Zhao Yaning took two steps and kicked the ball to the upper left corner of the goal with a long shot from a deciduous ball.

The football whirled and hit the crossbar, and was bounced with a roar. Just as the home fans cheered, Jiuli had already grabbed the first goal of the football, and immediately shot the ball into the goal with a long shot.

"Gooooal!!! Monaco scored their third goal! Monaco still has the winning ticket in this game. How far are they from the championship?"
