The Ball at Your Feet

When August came, Monaco also ushered in their first league game.

In the new season, Monaco's schedule can be said to be a typical tight first and then loose. In the first four games, they faced Bordeaux, Lyon, Bastia and Paris Saint-Germain. The opponents in the four games were almost all the strong players of last season, and it was not easy to deal with them. Until the fifth game, Monaco’s opponent will be the newly promoted Mames, and the schedule will go smoothly. After that, the tight schedule will continue until the sixteenth and seventeenth rounds facing Nice and Marseille. Shore Derby.

Obviously, the Ligue 1 schedule has given some care to Monaco, Lyon, Marseille and other teams that can play in the European war. The difficult battles Monaco encountered were all concentrated at the beginning of the season. When the European war didn't start, this allowed them to save a lot of energy. In the middle of the season, they could be more focused on coping with the pressure of the European war.

And Deschamps' request for Monaco is to fight these tough games as early as possible in the beginning of the season, and then the following games can be said to be much easier.

In fact, even those teams that are believed to pose a great threat to Monaco in the league, few can really resist Monaco.

Bordeaux, who met in the first game, was in a mess at Monaco's home court and was suppressed by Monaco.

Just less than twenty minutes after the start of the game, Monaco took the lead in breaking the balance of the game. Zhao Yaning attracted the attention of his opponents at the front of the penalty area and then gave the ball to Roten, who was inserted on the left. Roten made a long pass and found Pulsau in the penalty area. , Allowing Monaco to take the lead shortly after the opening.

This result also immediately cheered the fans in the stands: in the past ten years, after the French Ligue 1 team won the championship, they did not want to sell their players, except last year's Lyon, only this year's Monaco. Although I don't know why President Campola did this, the fans are still happy about it, and when they are happy, they will inevitably turn to the tempting idea of ​​defending the title. What's more, Monaco's strength and status are enough to make fans look forward to the future.

"Without Pauletta, Bordeaux can't play football anymore." It was the French retired star Blanco who commented on this game. He has just retired this year. He is now in France and is undergoing a coaching certification test. Therefore, The TV station invited him, and he immediately commented on the state of Bordeaux, “They did have a big change in the summer. Pauletta and Smelding have both left. It can be called a blow, but they still have Sanchez. There are also Costa, as well as Someier, Afanu and Lame. They are still a strong team. It is very inappropriate to play like this. For a team that has won the league championship, It's really shameful for them to play like this."

For his acrimonious comments, the commentator can only echo his voice, "Bordeaux did play a little worse and lost the best player in the team. This is inevitable..."

"What they lost is not just the best player, but the will to fight." Blanco immediately replied, "If we say that we have lost a good player, Monaco's main striker, Nunda, is also injured and unable to play in this game. Their losses are equally great. But I did not see Monaco collapse because of this. On the contrary, they still played very well. This is a question of ideology, not a question of combat effectiveness."

Regarding this kind of spiritual problem, the narrator couldn't say anything and could only smile wryly. After all, he is a commentator, not an invited guest. The guest can blame a certain team, but he can't.

The game was still going on. Zhao Yaning ran back and forth between the top of the penalty area and the middle circle, and from time to time he would insert into the ribs and wings of the two penalty areas to coordinate with his teammates. In the game, he is undoubtedly the one that attracts the most attention.

"This season Zhao Yaning was moved to the middle by Deschamps, and he played even better." The commentator couldn't help sighing, "His breakthrough is really sharp, coupled with this physical effortless running method, it's no wonder His presence on the court is so strong."

"It's just a strong presence." Blanco made his comment immediately, "A player with a strong ball ability will always be more eye-catching than other positions on the court. This cannot be questioned. Things. And especially when players with strong ball ability appear in the middle of the road to seek a breakthrough, it is easy to create the impression that they are single-handedly singled out by the opponent's back line, and naturally they are easily considered to be. Good player. But these are not what really determines the quality of an attacking midfielder. The connection between the two sides, the threat to the penalty area, the ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt, and the ability to grasp space and rhythm, these things This is the condition for a good front midfielder. Judging from his current playing style, his ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt is relatively good, and he can only rely on his activeness to threaten the penalty area and connect the two wings. Although it can be done by running on the ground, it is not smart after all. And his coverage on the offensive end is not large, and his grasp of space and rhythm control are still very inadequate. It can be said that, In contrast, both Giuli and Rothen are more suitable for the position of the front midfielder than him."

"Do you think Deschamps was wrong to let him center?" the commentator asked rhetorically. "Of course it's not wrong, on the contrary, it is necessary." Blanco shook his head. "Juli's figure is too short, and the ball feel is not enough. Although he can connect the wing well in the middle, he can also play against the penalty area. A threat is generated, but his impact is not enough to destroy the opponent’s defense line. If he is in the middle, then he is the axis of attack. Roten, Nongda, and Zhao Yaning are attacking around him as the offensive point. All three of them have very good ability to tear the line of defense, and he does not need any strong impact."

"But Roundup is injured, and the problem is different. If Giuli is still in the middle, then the tearing of the two sides alone is not enough to break the opponent's defense. Pulsau is not an athletic player. The all-around forward, he pays more attention to standing in the penalty area, so he must use him as the axis in the penalty area. Putting Zhao Yaning in the middle can tear the opponent's defense more effectively, and the two of them become the frontcourt. The two axes of the game, Giuli and Rothen are working around them to make repairs, which can make the offensive in the frontcourt more diversified and more threatening." At this point, Blanco couldn't help but sigh. "After all, the ability to have the ball is the core ability of a player. Only with sufficient ability to have the ball can the defensive player be successfully pulled away from the position where they are good at, thus realizing the destruction of the defensive line. The lack of ball-free ability can rely on Actively running to make up for it, but the lack of ball ability is really a big problem."

"Zhao Yaning's ability to have the ball is recognized by Ligue 1." The commentator nodded, "So, after moving him to the middle, let him run more actively to make up for his lack of ballless ability, and he The ball ability itself is stronger than Jiuli, so it forms a better midfielder than Jiuli."

"As far as the tactical effect is concerned, this is the case. But in this way, excessive useless running will also consume his aura, and it is very possible to train a Ronaldinho alive into Nedved... Now Monaco uses him as a core player. Of course, he seems to be incapable. Such a heavy overweight is a bit too heavy for young players. Of course, if they can bear it, they must grow up very amazingly. Blanco replied, "Deschamps is a very smart coach. His tactical changes are very good, but this is not necessarily a good thing for this player. The core players need more than just running. Movement and physical strength are more thinking and consciousness. If running takes up his thinking time, then his progress will stop. But according to my understanding of Deschamps, he is not a person who will easily sacrifice his players. , Then, I think it may be another situation: the toughness of this player is amazing. Deschamps believes that even if he adds more yards, he can bear it. If this is the case, and Deschamps did not judge If it's wrong, then I have to say that this player will really have great potential."

"I believe that one day when you become a coach, you will be a good coach who will not lose to Deschamps." The commentator complimented. Blanco did not refute anything, but accepted the comment frankly.

"I heard that in the summer, Manchester United wanted to buy Zhao Yaning, but in the end they bought the winger named Ronaldo from the Portuguese Super League. Do you know any inside story? Why did Manchester United make such a decision?" The clerk remembered something and asked again.

Blanco has just retired from Manchester United. He will naturally know more about the issue of Manchester United signings. He has nothing to conceal about the issue of the narrator. "There is no big inside story. Originally, Manchester United introduced Rona. Aldinho, but was robbed by Barcelona. And their second target, Duff, was also robbed by Chelsea~www.ltnovel.com~ Manchester United’s signings were actually a complete failure, and finally they decided to sign. Cristiano, it’s just because I know more about him."

"Then what do you think of this signing?" the commentator asked?

Blanco was stunned this time. He was silent for a while, "If he has the ability, it can be said that they are two young people on the same level. Zhao Yaning's skills may be better and more delicate, but the Premier League's league The environment does not require people with too sophisticated skills... And if you are talking about physical conditions, then Cristiano must be better. After all, everything else can be connected. The skeleton and the size can not be trained by training. And if it is Zhao Yaning There is something that is definitely not as good as Cristiano. Then one is that he is one year older. Age is the most important thing for players. The age of one year affects a lot. And the other one is probably his nationality. Portugal is a country rich in wingers, they have this kind of tradition and atmosphere, and China...I don’t know much about Chinese football, but I think their football tradition should be inferior to Portugal. This subtle influence is very important. Yes, it is related to a player’s quotient."

When he was speaking, Zhao Yaning took the ball back and ran back two steps, and then, when the opponent was slack, he made a long pass and sent the ball to the corner of the corner. Jiuli rushed into the penalty area with the ball, and after passing the defense, a shot changed the score to 2:0.

"Nice shot! Very good opportunity to grasp, surprising dribbling! Do you really think that such a player is inadequate?"

The last sentence obviously asked Blanco.

"I don't know, nothing can be decided in a game." Blanco shook his head. "But as far as I see him playing now, maybe Manchester United really made a mistake."
